Coalition Cocktails
Dearest friend did I mention,
that I am not yet convinced about these coalition cocktails.
These cocktails of compromise can quickly cause confusion.
Traditional reliables, mixed with fresh and new infusions.
Watered down potency, muster these illusions
Of neutrality, accessibility, of binding, and of fusion.
Contrasting composites of strong and fruity mixtures;
Colliding compounds of strange, exotic elixir.
Confounding ancient wisdom, and conventional stricture,
On the logic of certain combinations, I'm sure you're getting the picture...
That I am not yet convinced about these coalition cocktails!
I'd rather just one strong taste, and done.
The first passed the tongue's usually the one.
Now undesired flavours solicit my reactions,
And unpursued tastes reduce my satisfactions
Each fighting for the limelight, each vying for my attention.
Like my pallot was the ballot, and my chioice like an election.
And though sometimes a blend works, to the point of sheer perfection.
As the flavours fall away, the after taste often reveals the nature of this artificial mix,
To which I'm sure I have mentioned...
That I remain to be convinced about these coalition cocktails!
