If You Are

If you're doubtful about my eminence
Reputation or fame
My standing and opulence
Or the lack of it all the same
My command of presence
How much wild I can tame
And find not a befitting reference
Just call me by name

If you're sure of your judgement
Be reminded of our imperfection
That could show in your sentiment
Arguments and their direction
But be always reminiscent
That logic can lure into temptation
Among other wiles of the opponent
That we may decipher his every orchestration
