Extreme Audacity

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 *****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.
