Down Or Mediocre

I went berserk I went Down Down Under the ocean Down Under the sea Sea for invisible to be Sea for none to see See the limits See the Rules Rules to restrict Rules to follow Follow the leader Follow the mediocre Mediocre is the way to be Mediocre is the way of life Life that is bourgeois Life that is ordinary Ordinary gets accepted Ordinary gets praised Praise the like minded Praise never the merit Merit excels Merit kills Kill the Merit Kill the competition Competition breeds competition Competition needs competitor Competitor works Competitor takes risks Risk may earn Risk may reward Reward is a bribe Reward is a carrot Carrot is shown to a horse Carrot encourages greed Greed is unending Greed never stops Stop the work Stop the downfall Downfall cripples Downfall hurts Hurt those who push Hurt others Others need to imitate Others need to follow Follow you Follow the mediocre Mediocre is guarded Mediocre is protected Protected Guarded Shrineetee Kar Aug 21, 2015
