delusion (removed them reality)
relish revenge bruise beast brims blanks
boon (something beneficial to a specific cause)
peeling story flash
with delusions of grandeur
to relish against 'friends' and foes
slick and slippery
more of a revenge stance
expounded at hastily mustered
press conference
bruised ego brought out
the beasts in the human mind
lately a twitter war ensued
skimmed the brims of the surface
and shooting blanks unwittingly
a boon to detractors
who thrived in making fun
peeling off layers upon layers
of unkind stories
laughing off even absurd episodes
of a displaced mop of toupee
Would it ever be a flash in the pan
A temporary occupier or what?
