Proclamation
Since I'm a genius and everything I create is perfect, you can rest assured this piece is also flawless (sarcasm.) There is a persistent tendency within our society to assume we know an artist's intentions based on our perception of their creation. Everything we experience mirrors our inner state back to us. We project our psychological complexes onto pieces of art, and by extension, their creators. All this in spite of the fact that creation is autonomous; it is the universe expressing itself through its willing vessels.
Hopefully this recited poem, accompanied by improvised backing music, can capture the maximum pretension possible. May the "golden words" of this demigod reach thine ears! Listen at @dsound:

Superior assumptions
Where were we?
Let us resume where we left off.
I was reading out my golden words when
I heard an odd rambunctious cough.
From the back of the room
It was the proud contrarian
Who cackled at his crusty loom
Weaving trouble from the air again.
I could read his vibe a mile away,
The type that tries too hard to get a rise
Out of you with lazy quips all a-splay
To demean, denigrate: invoke your demise.
They assume skillwise you're arrogant
With your products overconfident,
Self-indulgent with narcissism spent.
They assume you think you're an expert
In the top percentile asserting mastery
And perceive the sheer act of your creation
As the rankest blasphemy.
How funny! I showed this man the door,
And bid him roam deficient, off to search
for other art to gore.

I smiled throughout this, @d-pend, you sound like you're having fun with it! There's an appealing light-heartedness, here, a playful, naughty, mock-haughty spirit to taunt the proud contrarian.
By association, I think of Nietzsche's quip: "One does not kill by anger but by laughter. Come let us slay the spirit of gravity!"
Really enjoyed this little piece of theater, much enhanced by the drama of music :)
Encore!
Yeah I was definitely in a playful mood while creating it! Humor is indispensable for situations where you can point out something taboo or uncomfortable by implying it, without having to address it aggressively. It's a more peaceful way to resolve problems. Thanks for sharing the Nietzsche quote, hadn't heard it before!
Hey, good to hear back from you, Daniel :) Humor saves lives, if you ask me, and is a sign of intelligence/spiritual elegance. Here’s another Nietzsche quote for you, and one by Merton that sum up my world view, really, in a handful of words:
'Do what you do more as play than as work, which does not mean that it is not serious ... That is the real tragedy of war and weapons: the tragic false seriousness.'
—Thomas Merton, Letters
'Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.'
—Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
cool post
Thank you @sardrt!

All Those masks on the wall (in the FINAL IMAGE) caught my attention .. I love (and the 2 Statues on the left ).
I Enjoyed your #Poetry today.
Would say my favorite part was : "How funny! I showed this man the door,
And bid him roam deficient, off to search
for other art to gore."
Have a wonderful journey !
Thanks so so much for this post. I wish the world can see this. Too much assumption in this world. They just keep assuming they know your intentions, they think they know everything about you. They think you think too much and highly about your self.
I wish they can see this and correct their own assumptions
Yo are so creative indeed. I didnt know that music can be expressed as an art.
