Society Is Scarcity

Society is but a volatile brew of a lucky few, and plenty of: Philosophers without portfolio, Scholars without power, Able men in a crippled world, Visionaries weary of worry, Artists bereft of brushes, Patient men ensnared by a rush, Actors craving for a costume, Pioneers ruined by pedantic loons, And simple men seeking the delight Of a quiet easeful life! Society is people reveling in reverie, All full of dreams that seldom take wing! But there are also those of towering talent who keep themselves hidden. Hiding their lofty ambitions, their high aspirations, biding their time. But not for long. For when the winds of fortune finally shift, their stagnant ships shall seize the Seven Seas!
