opulence 2008

in the serene month of january,

comes the fest of intelligentsial mercury,

hail the arrival of opulence,

the mother of intellectual extravagance.

your art of thinking will be put to test,

the supreme will outwit the rest,

and will win the plaudits of being the best.

innovation is the root of excellence,

and being the epitome of triumph's fragrance,

the innovators in the waging war will flourish,

and the rest are doomed to perish.

speak out the ideas with eloquence,

the rest will be history and penance,

let the orator in you rise,

and your name shall be immortalized.

the gladiators will eventually fight out,

in the engrossing cerebral war,

the last man standing is the czar,

his name shall be etched amongst the stars.
