Kept Levels Of Mediocrity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Those awarded and/or adorn their titles,
Worn as if the doing has been earned...
To prove it discovered a lack of discipline uncovered,
Are either awarded for keeping kept levels of mediocrity.
Sustained and maintained for prolonged periods of time.
And perceived by those deceived by their misdeeds,
As deserving of those accolades believed to have succeeded...
By interpreting what they have done,
To be an accomplishment that has been achieved!
OR...
Perhaps a representation of expectations has been reached,
To keep those who are unaffected...
Pleased enough to award them with a visiblt notoriety.

'Oh...
So this ceremony is 'not' about actual achievement? '

~Well...
In a way it is.
You see...
No one has deliberately kept levels of mediocrity,
For as long as they have.
So it was determined to have their doing of it acknowledged.
And by anyone's standards...
This activity, admittedly, has qualified for legendary status.~
