Precipitous Pitfalls Poem by John Sensele

Precipitous measures don't take
To no one bring or string an ache
Popular tunes don't sing
Better still to illusion don't cling

Tomorrow is a different day
Wiping away sorrows of yesterday
To bring about a new reality
That rewards versatility and agility

Punishing slices of mistakes
Made and bred in stakes
That honoured error
Cos the caution in the mirror

Received disapproval
Rather than the deserved approval
The picture painted and rented
In the reality image you dented and tainted

Assuming right measures you took
When responsibility to majority you forsook
Led and misled by a clandestine clique
Whose ill intention you chose to lick.
