Mr. intellectual I beg you take mind
I’ve become encumbered and weighted by thoughts
I beg an audience with your branded reach
Verbiage and endowment I’ve gathered you have
From perspective in assessing your candor, I inquire
Arduous engagement seem not necessary for enlightenment
Speaking so kingly but not a throne for your rare
I deduct your omniscience may dilute in few years
Conflagration, is flame, just fire by law
Intellectual, Formal, and neutral it draws
An apex revealed where proclaimed just a meadow
Fashioned by cloak you’ve disguised all by trickery
Falsehood inordinate secured as luxury
Un-raveled by plebian prophets I’ll say
Intellectual merit self fashioned in deceit
Rounds the mind of philosophical pressure
Encumbered no more as confusion erodes
A sophisticate king is but a mere miscreant
Apex revealed king now questioned premier
Deduct your stature so self fashioned now null
Simple exchange hath wrought your great fall
Be it wicked and dangerously said
This eve shall serve as enlightened ceremony
For unmasked revealed by a traveling seeker
To uncover truth of said false branded prophet
To bid you farewell as I take new course
To reveal through travel all false apex of this land

Pretty strong Randy. Lots to mull over here. The idea of the self-proclaimed anything is an interesting topic in it's own right, but you roll through this monologue almost in a pleading/begging manner it comes off as extremely profound. Seems to be a lot in this piece, I know I'm missing something, I'll have to get back into it again. Great sign when a piece makes one have to read more than once- Thanks
I appreciate you sir...you can see that there is something not so plainly written...I initially hesitated as I know it is quite confusing and heavy...The most revealing portion that would be the most convoluted is the reference of fire, by language, and by status, a highly held esteem to be regressed to the neutral bland...haha still I'm sure confusing, but I will tell in a couple days. Just imagine personal growth and others propelling the idea........?
Randy, never hesitate if it's something you feel strongly enough about- it always has a place. And from my experience, although some may not get exactly it the way you intended, they'll get something, typically something that they're meant to get- especially pieces like this one with so much beneath the surface- read it a few times now and seriously there's a ton of layering- really an outstanding piece
