A Timeless Mediocrity

These tiresome and fretful moments,
Laid to bare and then laid to rest,
Struggling in those uncertain
And apathetic ordeals.
With truth shouldering its ageless burden,
We mightily stand in joint action and united causes,
Thumbing through those periodicals
For our exaggerated theses
And those exquisitely written papers.

A hard-working, labor-intensive job awaits
The sleepy, indifferent, and shy worker
Of unique talents and overwhelming opportunities.
The office stocked with notebooks, pens, projectors,
And desktops and laptops,
As industrious managers and sage supervisors
Fulfill the company’s auspicious roadmap,
Laying out the root causes of problematic decision-making
And abiding by the corporation’s dreams
For future growth and lasting prosperity. 

An ageless and quite edgeless instruction
Leads to an all-encompassing institution
Of education and the most enthralling dedication.
Then, the timeless medicine of heroic
And beastly mediocrity,
As the hoarding displays of verbose learning and profit-earning
Pay the much maligned, anticipated bills
Which stem from pocketbook management
And endearing, heartfelt, romantic license –
The youth’s grand and good-natured look-see,
A time to restore apathy and those storied, detailed designs
To their fruitful and most engaging beginnings.
