Indifference of the Different

A gong sounds again Squalled with familiar war cries Bringing me on my feet again To pick the best tools, drop the fries One more bite and I’m the next casualty Picking military regalia, dress down to the task’d My alert generals whine, pumping grit in my faculty So I can dodge through the strictness unfrisk’d Doing rehearsals amid fear Just to stay put with the adversary’s whim To never forget his tactful enticing tear At the expense of my sympathy grim Am not headed for perpetual fall For I’ve made out the trickery and malice in lair Yesterday’s battle for crown in virtuosos’ hall Really confirmed how emeritus victory and flair Counteth not at the status quo And that we can change yesterday’s outcome If only we could be termed as the trio or duo Of our grit and purged frolicsome Selves And so, whether magnate in our seedy residence Or cognate to the salient diamonds We shun perfection decadence To only unmask dazzling splendid diamonds!
