PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The speaker at the seminar expounds his hollow case

Hideous complacency defines his callow face

His pristine suit encompasses his lithesome youthful frame

As a sycophantic audience applauds his every claim

His residence is situated in the finest urban zone

With architectural flourishes, uncouth and overblown

His customized Mercedes is his symbol of success

As lacking as his accent in discernment and finesse

And holidays are spent assimilating latest foreign trends

The all-essential savoir-faire on which his name depends

Creative avocations are simply labelled picayune

By the misdirected standards of a voracious young tycoon

If only he could see himself with another's heedful eyes

And recognize the shallowness behind his swank disguise

The conceited young executive with his narcissistic ways

Would realize he's not the man his outward gloss portrays
