How unfair that all around me (as far as the eye can see), a vista of riches and wealth seems to tantalize and tease my vision like some mirage, which chimerical and ephemeral hallucination assaults a sense of envy! This flash in the pan of a false paradise conspires in conjunction with advertisements of femininity and masculinity masquerading our popular culture in the guise of sexual seduction and temptation! I feel twice bewitched against experiencing these trappings of the our contemporary society, and the slow trod of father time reminds this male of approaching mortality and the eventual arrival of the grim reaper! No matter how many potential women receive an offertory for friendship or relationship, I rarely if ever stoke up a substantial rapport to buoy up these flagging spirits and awaken the esprit de corps!
