Thunder Claps

When conformists' adherence to
 irksome, empty, shallow, hollow
 obsolete rules

 overrides unadulterated substance...
 imported intuitive works
 of essence, potence...spirit

When lettered law
 obscures, obliterates
 disintegrates
 vital verve

When egotistical opinion
 ascends higher, reigns over...
 tramples on authentic art

This is when I dispose and disclose
 I hold scant esteem for form...
 mundane reins
 colorless, humdrum
 lackluster genre

 or those whose swollen ego
 is entirely, absolutely
 engrossed and entombed
 in them

Genuine unfeigned expression
 shatters traditionalists'
 trivial thrashing trash

Veritable voices resound
 thunder, reverberate
 resonate

 in spite of outdated
 highly esteemed
 decadent modalities
 education... influence

 bound, chained
 shackled, inhumed

 by absurd vanities
 veritably pluming pride
 ignorance and arrogance

 boorishly dispatching
 meaningless, lifeless
 senseless, worthless

 drivel
