Love Poem: Becoming a Member

Becoming a Member

Correct 
Superseding the content 
If this is what is required? 
To be considered 
Taken seriously 
Then so be it
Preacher 
Or am I at fault?
Are you my teacher?
And I am a defiant student ?
Devoid of prudence ?
Ignoring the letter of the law?
To take or be a part of?
I am a simple uneducated common knave 
Who wishes merely to exchange 
But blessed without the knowledge to engage 
Is destined to be dismissed 
For though my muses resonate 
It is neither for your pallet or plate
As sadly you are the keeper of the gate
The status quo
Of partition 
Which pacifies admission 
To the top table
Of cultured earshot 
And so I write each day every night
In search of the work that may just might
Pray upon a soul less deserving 
That replies upon an inner stirring 
A troubled heart earns 
A second reading
