Privileged with dominant esteem
Flaunts aspirations that are elevated
and in spite of everything,
merely unmatched by perfection
Amid conviction and wonderment
Fraudulent exclamations of proclamation
to proclaim, indeed!
Refusal of such hierarchy for those who prevail expectedly
it’s eminent
Nonetheless, disappointment is the reward as strategies fall short
Those delectable taunts of judgment
Deceives as misfortune veils those used up
They are silenced by authority lacking conviction
Absolute Power
Corrupts
Absolutely!
Sarcasm once more drips from malevolent tongues
Used as vessels preordained to join greatness
Yet simply neglects to accept the consequences
Great poem… It just made me think of Icarus, whose father (Dedalus) built two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for them to escape from the Labyrinth for King Minos in which they had been imprisoned… When he was trying to scape he flew too close to the sun, feeling powerful, almost “divine”… but his wax wings melted, hence he fell from the sky into the Sea, and died…
Your verse: “disappointment is the reward as strategies fall short”, speaks out loud in that sense. Balance and so called “humble” attitude are important when it comes to achieve our goals, with regard to ourselves, and others. 😉
Wishing you a great wednesday head! Aquileana!
