Assenter

Ass*enter

Consenting to

Being bent

In direction of

The erection of

Commenters, who in

Protection of

An election

Promoting misdirection

Side with

A predilection for

Centering the

Splintering

Of re-entering

The ending

The stopping

The starting

The constant parting

Dissenter

Diss*enter

Boldly cast aside

No consent

Exits only abide

No settling

Nor peddling

Leave your meddling

To your inner nettling

Repenting

Ascending, Descending

Interring

A stirring

For appending

Or up-ending

The pending

Ending.

En*ding

In a ring, in a dent, in a start, in insistence, in force, in exclusion?

A preclusion of illusion, to ensnare

Sender and Bender into

Beginning.

Another inning

Of spinning

Convolutions of winning

For the kinning

Of folx

Daring to split yolks

Hoping for life

Beyond a yoke.

One life reigns

Another in reins

Flip the crypt

In that script

Equity dip’t.
