The Mathematics of Power

A world can be so wonderfully inarticulate

Expressing as it does each jealousy
In a blizzard of minimalist vernacular
Pursuing the obvious common denominator
Thus elevating the average meanness
To the heights of banality and expedience
Quantified by the measure of indifference
Required to fill the volume of ignorance
Necessary to potentialise each prejudice
As a true barometer of society's preference
Calculated to protect the existing social order.
