On Pretentiousness

How eloquent, spectacular,

The use of such vernacular,

The righteousness of rightness never ceases to amaze;

For the lay lay in their stupor,

As they build to build their super,

While we postulate the context of an enigmatic phrase.

'He promulgates a synthesis,

Of literary instruments,

And explores the raw topography of the analytic mind;

From the troughs of desperation,

To the peaks of liberation,

He navigates the rapture of an existential bind.'

So bury them in metaphor,

Rhetoric they'll be better for,

Lace your prose with esoteric jargon till they bust;

Keep them all sedated,

Using language that's outdated,

With no look in, they look up, high, at we the upper crust.
