Analysis of Capricious Connection
Pretentious affection
Suspicious support
Capricious connection
is the last resort
Discordant epistle
Insolent lament
Imprudent dismissal
is the last torment
Aggressive defiance
Excessive attack
Transgressive alliance
is the last infract
Featherlight assurance
Watertight excuse
Fly-by-night endurance
is the last abuse
External intrusion
Infernal tumult
Maternal collusion
is the last assault
