Turning on a sixpence 23 May 2016

My power chair can turn upon a sixpence -
How nimble and how friendly to my needs!
Beware this feature, though, when no resistance
Is offered to emotions wed to deeds
Regretted in the aftermath of strife.
Precipitate reactions prompting panic
Amongst adherents prone to wield the knife
May well result in baleful and titanic
Outcomes, impossible to  rectify,
Which leave a desolation in their wake,
Or shatter dreams imagined not to die,
And all for a charade whose face is fake.
