YOU ARE NOT GOOD IF YOU ARE TOLD SO! You are not good if you are told so The easiest way to be hooked to obscurity is this hole; Do not be deceived For you are not good if you are good: To be told so is to be muddled up by audacious lies By the very words that prevent you from sharper creative eyes; To be good is to be summarized Before the glorious pyramid of waiting height; To be wrapped by conjectures of popular mediocre Whose naïve excitements of excellence inflammably wreck potentials; To be wagged at by dogs of common artistic meals Is to be estimated in the ways of platitude with pleasurable ease; To be adored by nitwits whose smiles bore diligence out In the intestinal celebration parading emptiness about; Their generous encomium Is as perilous as checkmated uranium; Beware Dear poet in this recreating wire; The ovation assumes you in importance Is also the condemnation that demotes you into insignificance; Both to literary praise and its contrary Show no propensity; The more to this you adhere The speedier into lasting literary canon you are inspired!
