The secret of social success in life
is networking and connecting with people
who hold positions of authority
with power to grant you the job you desire.

If you can get into their inner circle
they will promote you for prizes and jobs
if you promote them in turn for the same,
so you help each other gain social power.

If you fail to win them with adoration
you will remain outside their wall of silence,
condemned to be ignored by all their friends,
unable to ascend their pyramid.

Or you can mock them all with harsh satire,
exposing their cohort as hypocrites,
and play the rebel as you walk alone,
disdaining their success and fame as fake.

No matter what part of society
where you choose to participate for wealth
you must play their game to win glorious fame
or change the rules to establish your name.

Should I storm the castle gate of success
to crown myself king on the vacant throne,
or wander alone on the wild sea shore
and sing my laughing spells in blustering wind?
