Facetiousness in full bloom

Take my speech and twist its limbs

Reign,

Supreme amongst your kin

Isolated before your king

With outstretched palms

Innovations wane

Oceans are in full retreat

Bliss

Sought by sages and tramps

Supplicant and begging for more

An unwritten law,

some half-wit code

A standard-bearing guide for procedure

Sewn in countless stitches

every other arm

bearing patchwork oaths

To receive them

Acceptance of that creed

Each and every leaf

Empirical and wholly unbending

Condescension all-pervades

(Yet among knaves)

Submission is at all costs upheld

On your hands and knees

Praying to some falsehood idol

Humility’s excrement

Lodged underneath your fingernails

Digging your own tomb

Scavenging through more than just… insecurity
