If subjective objectivity <br />Depended on substance... <br />And its effective projected quality, <br />Few who nourish the encouragement of thought, <br />Would have none to offer that triggers independent stances! <br />As they await to bait souls with predetermined fates, <br />Debated! <br />Since the collective who deem their points of view, <br />Selected based on merit, <br />Are they themselves limited and lost <br />To qualify such understandings! <br /> <br />They meet to empower themselves... <br />Yet are powerless to control expressed experiences of others! <br />They would like to find an exclusiveness, <br />That produces a greatness desired. <br />But instead discover they argue among themselves... <br />In an induced seduction, <br />About direction and content of their values! <br />In an ever changing process, <br />That is free of excessiveness... <br />And ego trips that bore! <br /> <br />They are eventually ignored, <br />And this they find repulsive! <br />Since their activities do not attract the desired attention, <br />Of those who find such minds closed and barren... <br />Unworthy to contemplate or given time to mention! <br /> <br />'If you are going to award yourselves... <br />Can it be done with less commotion? <br />And more devotion to content, <br />That is devoid of trivial nonsense? <br />There has to be more meat... <br />To sink your teeth into? <br />Giving more time to expand your minds, <br />Instead of monitoring the actions of a few <br />You pursue!
