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.
