The best results don't of necessity arise from shooting from the hip
Where far from conforming to best practices, impulsive characters
Whip up antagonistic emotions which rip
Apart intended outcomes and incite detractors
Into a frenzy
Whose course of action
Hazy, sleazy and uneasy
Becomes a distraction
That not only torpedoes intended objectives but also introduces obstacles
Which add layers of unwanted complexity
That nothing short of miracles
Whose dexterity
Sorts out
By dint of sheer luck
Because clouds of doubt
Entering the fray suck and pluck
Oxygen from nascent possibilities
Slain
In the course of inserting insensibilities
Lain
Bare at the doorstep of ineptitude
Thrown into the mix
Alongside the wrong attitude
Fix
Stressed at an inopportune moment
To make a statement
Meant to comment
On a positive element
Fares badly unless a skilled diplomat recommends conciliation
To forge ahead determinedly towards a breakthrough
Obtained by virtue of a give and take mission
That yields best outcomes right on cue.
