Fence Sitters, Pseudo Fence Sitters

FENCE SITTERS 

INSPIRED BY A CHAPTER FROM A BOOK BY SHIV KHERA - YOU CAN WIN. 

Thank you Mr. Khera.

BE AWARE ... BE SAFE 

Ethics of convenience,
Vacillating values,
No courage of conviction,
Conformist attitudes,
See the ‘hunting with the hound’,
And the ‘running with the hare’
Of being a fence-sitter,
A person to beware.

More dangerous, however
Than the fence-sitter could ever be
Are the pseudo fence-sitters
Who excel in duplicity
Who camouflage true agenda
With contrived disinterest
While pulling the rug underfoot
Of the one who’s in distress.

A pseudo fence-sitter
What are the recognizable traits?
Inconsistent in impartiality
Empathy towards winning stakes
Ferments misconception
Insincere in nurturing accord
With the ethics of convenience
And no courage to boast off.
