Febrile Fantasies
Forgo friendships built on sand dunes
Scattered in the desert of expediency
Driven by greed and ceaseless searches for fortunes
Flying in air balloons of inefficiency.
Forgo fantasies caught up in streams of nonsense
Cajoled in monsoons of short-termism
Driven by myopia and a seasoning of offence
Regurgitated with aplomb to neutralize feminism.
Forgo dreams of grandeur granted a status
Commensurate with duplicity and paucity
Of ideas and ideals in a sea of hiatus
Longing to break free of opacity.
Forgo attachments fastened to fragility
Expressed in tones sugar-coated
To energize and incentivize febrility
In friendships deemed overrated.
