Mandolins in the rain

Impatience    
Equipped and unbound    
Delegated    
Handpicked and uncrowned    
Enervated    
Unwise and unsound    
Saturated    
Involved and profound    
 
Detriment    
The blade of a sliver    
Jaded    
The consonants quiver    
Spoken    
All the lies you’ve delivered    
Focussed    
On destinies withered    
 
Downcast    
Forlorn and strife lending    
Dominance    
A dark and cruel tending    
Process    
A whirl of life bending    
Inelegance      
Unvarnished and blending    
 
Captured    
A thorn of cruel notions    
Absent    
Of love and devotion    
Vehemence    
Orchestrated emotion    
Stranglehold    
The effects of the potion    
   
Hardened    
And paying my dues    
Provoked    
Absolving my muse    
Impassioned    
Redefining the cues    
A warrior    
The rebel pursues    
   
Comeback    
The rustler’s disdain    
Indifference    
The dominant strain    
Mindset    
The fast moving train    
Recovery
