Ceremony

Some people like the pomp and ceremony
of academic regalia, feeling empower and
admired as they pass student spectators,
who they perceive are enamored with envy;

Some people like the power and control
that wealth brings as they bypass all the
commoners who made it possible for them,
and whose lives are not even distant memories;


Some people just like to stand and watch as
those, emboldened by ego and arrogance,
prance around like peacocks in heat with heads
high, shoulders squared, holding up their illusions;

Some people hope to be like them -
Some people hope to be taught by them -
Some people want to be married to them -
Some people simply see it for what it is.
