Pointless To Shoot From the Hip

The best results don’t of necessity arise from shooting from the hip Where far from conforming to best practices, impulsive characters Whip up antagonistic emotions which rip Apart intended outcomes and incite detractors Into a frenzy Whose course of action Hazy, sleazy and uneasy Becomes a distraction That not only torpedoes intended objectives but also introduces obstacles Which add layers of unwanted complexity That nothing short of miracles Whose dexterity Sorts out By dint of sheer luck Because clouds of doubt Entering the fray suck and pluck Oxygen from nascent possibilities Slain In the course of inserting insensibilities Lain Bare at the doorstep of ineptitude Thrown into the mix Alongside the wrong attitude Fix Stressed at an inopportune moment To make a statement Meant to comment On a positive element Fares badly unless a skilled diplomat recommends conciliation To forge ahead determinedly towards a breakthrough Obtained by virtue of a give and take mission That yields best outcomes right on cue.
