Genius Stands Alone an Arrogant Poem

Stupidity is measured by its followers.

Genius stands alone.

By the time an idea is consumed by the masses,

it is rehearsed and insincere;

a propaganda of sorts,

a replica of a replica,

it's watered down and impotent,

it's sterilized,

homogenized,

and capitalized -

the truth and genius are no longer with it,

they've cracked that shell with wings to fly - 

museums and galleries drape their walls with dead skin.
