Substance Fades

It is done quite simply!

To reduce an influence,
And significance...
Advocate the importance,
Of ignorance.

And market this as the latest fad.
With a witnessing of this,
As a rage no one can resist!

That's how influence,
And a significance that benefits...
Begins to slowly diminish in effectiveness.
With a substance that ends as an aging of it,
Fading away...
To become replaced by mediocrity.
