Corrosive Cognitive Culture Poem by John Sensele

When wide awake I put a high premium on pesky priorities
I must not pillory pristine parties for difficulties
I encounter in paving a path to a career
If from robust requirements on purpose I veer
Opting against salient senses to divert
Energies and synergies in an overt
Defiance my resources to spend
In the vain belief my intuitive institutions would bend
Rules and tools to buttress my belief in excuses
That my failure to meet obligations to navigate sanity sluices
Wouldn't atone for my incompetence
Multiplied by my promotion of pretence
To be so saintly
In spite of my inability to decently
Stare at and care to meet my financial obligations
For services I access in a plethora of negations
To pay my dues in service actualization on my part
Before for my academic programs I make a start
Realizing fully well services multiple money they cost
Long before beating my chest in shame to boast
Incumbents to me don't wanna speak
Although my failure to pay dues reach the peak
Authorities can no longer sustain
In view of my reluctance to abide I can't maintain
I say ‘Shame on me'
For blaming innocent incumbents with glee
Anticipating I promote a teaching career comfort
When incompetenceand impertinence I overload in the fort
Where God can bless my future
Despite my penchant for a corrosive cognitive culture.
