Asks a Price
Consideration asks a price
a quota given to admit
those desiring passage to
the lettered realms confirming self
these domains are only blessed
by occupants residing there
it’s no wonder that obstacles
are erected as consequence
identity is denied
as a measure that complies
with the checklist written by
experts docked with battle scars
instead dire standards are applied
disregarding pretentious folks
deemed so by their eager wills
to exist outside of ills.
