Flog Not a Horizontal Man

A horizontal man beaten by life vicissitudes
Don’t flog
On him dump not platitudes
To clog his misfortune on the blog

Where his reputation you whip
Out of shape, out of contention
To snip and nip
The devotion

Once on him you doted
Unstintingly
As him you courted
Ingratiatingly

Until he fell on hard times
Sunken and forsaken
As clock chimes 
Never mistaken

Heralded a new era
For wheels to spin for the better the man’s fortunes
Adding an invincibility and indefatigability edge to the aura
The man with gratitude received to the accompaniment of melodies and tunes

That turned three hundred and sixty degrees
The man’s life towards a new magnetic North
That engendered the commencement of pedigrees
That enabled the man to rise from ashes and burst forth

Carving him a niche of happiness under the sun
Smiling and styling
New horizons in a vertical zone
Filled to the brim with a brand new feeling of healing.
