The consequence of bearing your own flag,
Is that your progress might be forced to lag,
For if you're not by another's prejudice made,
Then you are barred from a place in the parade.
Conform or reap the injustices of the right,
Who practice ignominious jealousy clothed in spite;
Or make your way alone with nose quite clean,
To where those brown nosed writers have not been.
Few will help you to the pedestal they desire,
Though every word you write they so admire,
For it would not do for you to seek to claim,
Where they so jealously wish it be their name.
For while they say they like the words you scribe,
There's is a dubious form of abstract diatribe.
