The Happy Hour Wheel

Tighten up your grip in full fanfare and splendour on reality Embracing and professing humility Promoting and brandishing flexibility and feasibility As the span of your life grows In pre-arranged columns and rows Discounting character assassination throws Delecting, delighting and pandering to malice Hitched on a platform of wanton avarice Catalyzed by a Judas kiss Planted on cheeks stung by despair Propelled in a manner unfair Boosted by circumstances that hardly care Whether the poor live or die Falling down or riding high In circumstances and instances that won’t lie Balancing needs both big and small To respond in a jiffy to an urgent call At the earliest opportunity when efforts stall With little or much impunity Involved to a large extent in extolling human dignity Alongside fostering an atmosphere of sanity Buttressed by sound and all-round intelligence Whose critical contribution grows immense At the top of the billing that spreads its influence In boosting standards of justice Not that it needs an armistice In the face of blatant injustice Urging and enjoining vulnerable hearts to heal As all stakeholders strike a just deal To once again spin the happy hour wheel.
