Statesmen and Prophecies

mezzanine whispers
prohibit peace of mind, broke
sunnyside over
standpipes- silent mouth holes-
inferior delusions win elections.

First poem for 2016 National Poetry Month.  Here is the poetry prompt generator that I used. It was created by Patrick Williams. My personal prompt was to find 5 words from the provided two pages and make a five line poem with the found words starting each line. Then I was to title it "Statesmen and Prophecies."
