conflicted core characteristics

Consider conscious creatures:

capable, cognizant, cerebral.

~

Creatures commanding choice:

customs, careers, companionships.

~

Clever, considerate creatures:

creating certified continuance.

~

Cautiously calculating, coherently:

composing civility's ceaselessness.

~

Conscientiously charged crowd:

collectively- Crap!

Curveball crashes!

Clobbering confidence.

Can't control cosmos.

Chaos!

Confusion cultivates concern.

Chocolate-chip-cookie-coolness crumbles.

Crying. Cursing!

~

Cynicism competently capitalizes,

capsizing civilization's canoe.

~

Concealed characteristics creep,

consuming concocted composure.

~

Candid core components

come catbird-center.

~

Cowardice. Command. Confusion.

coexist, competing continually.

~

Contrasting conundrums cohabit

causing confidence crisis.

~

Can creatures carry

core conflictions correctly?

~

Could central contradictions

cause consequential combustion?

~

Civility concretizes controversy,

confusing conversation... clearly.
