The Emptiness of Gung Ho Postures and Attitudes

Gung Ho machismo pushed to limits of puerile pomposity Thrives in a world of alternative reality But falls flat on its garrulous verbosity Especially if hitched on the back of alacrity teeming with banality Whose preference for megaphone diplomacy Indicates an Achilles heel In strategy whose lunacy Cuts off the oxygen supply from the deal Gung Ho machismo should have clinched hands down If humility and clarity in approach and research Stuck to simplicity and not obstinacy driven to town in favour of the gallery of a clown Resulting in a loss leaving Gung Ho machismo in the lurch Aiming to win vaunted labels as deal maker but succeeding only in reaping sown whirlwinds And sustaining bruises not only to leadership reputations But also hurting obstinate fiends Whose blindness earns empty salutations in sterile missions Whose outcomes Too low for zero Amount to puny sums That in the end can’t turn an abysmal failure into a hero.
