Disarming the Administration of My Reluctant Capitulation
Disarming the Administration of My Reluctant Capitulation
Where forth comes this infatuation?
Your need to escalate each situation
Have you cast away acculturation?
Is my character on target for assassination?
My lifeforce in sight for decapitation?
All that my being set for emasculation?
By your stupendous stumbling of inebriation
That power you crave, I call repudiation
Perhaps it’s your form of vile recreation
This purloined act of male strangulation
Playing the saint, but in deep manipulation
A bounding leap for such bold provocation
Starts with weaving the snippets of my conversations
Creating a myth, which you then call flirtation
Just for torturing me with rank interrogation
Trumpeting fanciful falsehoods of dissimulation
Then a magical leap toward full denigration
Can’t miss your chance for complete castigation
A verbal tryst of profound demonstration
Never with facts, just more generalizations
A tower of lies built without a foundation
Your clouded mind always sees incrimination
The endless cycle, how it brings aggravation
No sight of an end, complete in frustration
Even in my defense, and a sound examination
Faced with those facts, your reinterpretation
The burning gas lamp, one called obfuscation
When oft proven wrong, so then dramatization
Off to inventive land, such completed creation
Then muddy up things with much complication
Throwing names and lies, with no hesitation
Your sudden surge, an event multiplication
Diversion, invention, all for ripe escalation
Add the pitchy rise to your sharp vocalization
Then how deeply you dive down to pure imagination
Another wonton act of your abject desperation
Raise the stakes, double down, the great accusation
You’ll call me the beast, the unholy incarnation
Not a human, nor man, some dark abomination
Say I’m immersed in great evil, a dour infestation
And then you cite on and on, of my machination
How I’ve waited so long in dark preparation
My nefarious plot in still and freshened formation
Many forces of darkness, my apt consultation
Cloak furled and cast off, my grand denudation
To the end then I reached, a complete affirmation
Your consuming delusions, an unhealthy perturbation
And your terrible wrath, another endless duration
So finally admitting, such a sad acceptation
I can no longer continue, so take congratulations
Though energized I am, at my emancipation
Knowing quitting your game, will bring separation
And the endless hard road of unfound litigation
Yet disarming the administration of my reluctant capitulation
It seems quite the time for a great celebration

Such a dire situation. You are a great wordsmith, Ralph. This rhyming verse took excellent skill to find and use all the ‘…tion’ words in the right place to create a powerful way to deal with the situation efficiently. I am impressed and enjoyed reading this work.
You have pulled off a geat feat. Amazingly complex and entertaining. Jamie
Excellent work Ralph. Sorry for the situation. Great job though fitting different syllable words into a near flawless rhyming piece. Well done
