The Unrepentant

I exist self aware under false pretenses,
Strutting self-assured through hallowed halls of the credible.
I promote and hype building adequate fences,
Predatorily looking for the unexpectedly edible.

It’s less what I do but more what I say,
Impeccable in my word to the bitter end.
Image runs amok when I am at play,
Credibility over deed is what I defend.

Celebrity is my ultimate goal,
It soothes the savage judgmental.
With status comes the power to control,
Acknowledged with the emergence of the resentful.

Of course this could all come tumbling down,
Perceptions of infinity are not realistically at hand..
As long as the money stacks high in a mound,
My critics and detractors can go pound sand.
