Black Sheep Drawback

‘BLACK SHEEP DRAWBACK’ Discouraged, anxious and unsure—pitch black tarmacs start their war Petrified, panicked and distressed—uncertainty cracks amidst unwelcomed guests Dissociated and desensitised a perfect attack—as nervous disposition follows predictable tracks Another prestigious black tie event—suites and shoes will seldom boycott consents Perfected flair keeping companies in the black—elegantly formal their wives attack Each one attired in the colour of grief—sadness and mourning a blackmailed thief There stands Jack, in a room that is packed—emotionally elusive, cunningly drawn back Mysterious, powerful negative dirt tracks—black-market malevolence no visible cracks Observation, lack of confidence to engage—courage imminently pending and upstaged An edgy apprehensive shrink-back—protection from impulsive reactive, confused attacks Alarming blackout to opinions of others—ignoring motives of guaranteed buffers A black sheep just got blacklisted again—anticipation of recurring hurt and pain
