Gripping Expectations: Grave Horrors

With the stirring hope
Of a brand new swing path,
A golf ball is sliced or hooked…
A healthful expectation can lead to
To a fixable junket or reparable role;
Coaxing and straightening,
Players must never forgo
This known awareness of greater care.
Poor golf shots must lean
On structured reasoning,
Assembling a much more moderate stasis. 

Chiseling and sculpting grandeur
In a generous par attempt -

For amazing triumphs
Of human efficacy and resolve…

One’s political voice assumes
This well-maintained
And highly stout and polished stand…
Humanity imploding and expelling
The intolerable will and sickening consequence
Of irrepressible indignation -

But pride’s meaningful losers
Express deep displeasure
In society’s civil
And preferably essential modes -
A respectful tolerance
For their chosen values
In today’s nonsense
And repugnant world;

Expertly engaging the planet
In a gripping awareness
Of the vile threats they face,
But living and loving every human being
In a perilously imperfect
And wickedly whining take -
An assumption of injustice, idiocy,
And impending assault
On their beautiful and lovely lives,
In glorious radiance
And radical dissonance -
As excellent assurances
Of normalcy
And productive etiquettes
Are soon to be vindicated,
Apprehended, and copiously realized…
