Obnoxiously Blatant

You can never do what they do,
From an egotistical point of view.
It has to come through...
Naturally done...
To keep the substance one that's fun.

Those who force themselves like some,
To do what they believe is easily done
Discover in their repetition...
There is none for those not in competition!

Creativity isn't taught in schools.
Where some obtain the tools to try to fool!
There are those who are born that way.
Many attempt to copy their efforts!
But the 'originals' never cease,
To have something unique to say and display!

The one thing done folks do and wont tell,
Is lie, steal and cheat!
And for a while many did that well!
So someone had to teach them that.
To have it so obnoxiously blatant!
Repulsively redundant!
Without consideration of a single captured flourish!
And importantly...without hint of smoldering tact!
Where do they learn this crap?
