Extreme Audacity Poem by Hebert Logerie

Audacity has a negative connotation
That I despise with a conspicuous passion
It's fine for somebody to be bold
And not to be too arrogant and cold
Where narcissistic images or horns emerge
Like insatiably bad worms that nothing can purge.
Audacity is not an outstanding quality
Or a special virtue; it is nevertheless an appalling pity.
When one is immersed in deceits and lies
Such an individual tends to have a lot nerves
And to be riotous to the point of bending the curves
To the extreme angles. An audacious person thinks
That he or she is above all laws and rules, and that stinks
To the core of corruption and obvious nepotism
And of course, this is the genesis of racism.
In this day and age, no one should believe in a sorry cult
Even the most primitive or ancient Homo sapiens
Must find a way to know better and to let the daily radiance
The natural lights enrich the darkest part of the brain.
Audacity is an extreme darkness, a parasitical drain
There's nothing positive or divine about being audacious
Such an individual is untrue, poor, deceptive and specious.
