Situations Deflated, Inflated and Conflated

Spray faith all around you lest you should go astray Clinging to and clutching shells of emptiness In your conformance to the spiritual and moral ray That stresses naughtiness and pettiness Hoping to raise standards Steeped in diligence and excellence To keep all stakeholders and guards On their toes as they strive for diligence To urge you make up your mind To lift spaces and times Friends and foes grind Into the plasticity and elasticity they like in their climbs To fancies and fantasies they hold dear With their eyes, ears and brains At the ready to deflect fear and tear From treasures and pleasures teeming in trains That fly high the flag of achievements Friends and fiends score as they pore Over strategies and techniques that catalyze developments In mining opportunities concealed in the main role You surmise mean well For further progress and friends and fiends digress Energy, synergy and strategy in a groundswell They believe feeds and favours the tigress Who plays cards too close to her chest Assuming you’d fume Puff and bluff over silly stuff gone to waste When you determine there ain’t no point in dwelling on gloom and doom As you make the last ditch effort to stitch Worn and drawn out palaver You believe no longer can teach or preach Fidelity, certainty, loyalty and humility to your estranged lover.
