Stage Fright and Solution

Do speakers sound articulate, 
For ideas they’d freshly conceived 
From the faintest flash just received?
Does pumped blood not circulate fast,
The steadied nerves later not last?

Rather a weak insulation 
Of a feared circumlocution,
Left ajar a stammering door
Begging for Great Orator’s jaw!
Its not helped by physical might 
What is a psychology’s fight 
Great panic and its twin stage fright 
Before an audience, mind in flight 
Sure it had met The Superior 
That deserved nothing inferior… 

So back you go to drawing board!
Weapon: psychological sword!
