Explosions and Implosions In the Face of Fallacy Growers

Life so complicated, so vindicated Life never so simple in the dimple Smiling, pining, piling up pressure in indicated Moments and torments in a pesky pimple Germinating on a face hitherto serene Driven bonkers when complication that conquers Spaces and territories in a tropical rain with a plethora of unseen pain When cash without a slash tinkers with bankers’ Reluctance can’t advance a loan To committees desirous to bankroll Matrimonial negotiations, kitchen party bones, clones and tones in the right zone Where parents, relatives and friends in Africa play a vital role In initiating, facilitating and cementing the unity of purpose Despite misgivings, obstacles, hurdles and mountains to climb Valleys to scale, funds and resources to source With a view to ascertaining life in full bloom in time Minimizes complications and complexities For me, my mind and my kind At home, in church, at work where facilities To ride on the rind of bliss rewards the blind Who nurture hopes of bliss Cos their disabled eyes see in the dark Better and far more distinctly than the eyes that miss Spotting the joy spark That enlivens propinquity where human warmth extends Beyond distance and circumstance In which humankind amends ways joy tends Beyond the heart’s circumference to adopt a stance That simplifies human interaction Cutting out pretence To take the bold action That considers human initiative to love not as a complication sentence But a blessing to behold A treasure to nurture To open up hearts without feelings to withhold Lest society should fear or suspect moral fibre capture As promoted in circles prude To slay sentimental expression Viewing love display as rude Thus plunging society into a deranged depression That pretends love is an illusion Best concealed in hermetic drawers Where skeletons fed up with delusion Explode and implode like volcanoes in the face of fallacy growers.
