Let's build the perfect beast.
But first we must be willing to disrobe of our coformity and
stand naked underneath a sea of stars,shimmering in the dead blue sky.
Shall the beast be driven by esoteric engines that follow form rather than
function?
Or must our eyes reaffirm their belief in a beauty that is seldom seen other
than in the cold light of logic?
Be aware that the spirits of apathy and ego are out to destroy our beast,
armed with songs sung in the key of dissension.
The rhythm of their beating wings seductive in it's atonal drone...Hypnotic
to the disheveled masses,that yearn for nothing more than freedom.
It's a poem fair lady....an analogy of the forum you might say.The "Perfect Beast" being the forum.
To make the forum a better place we must be willing to "disrobe"(and not coform
to others expectations of what we should be)

the meaning of esoteric;
Intended for or understood by only a particular group: an esoteric cult.
Of or relating to that which is known by a restricted number of people.
Confined to a small group: esoteric interests.
Not publicly disclosed; confidential.
Should we let certain members controll the content of the forum?
I think not. By choosing form over fuction.....
We are saying as long as everything looks alright,it doesn't matter if it "functions correctly"(I mean this metaphoricallyand not literally.)

By this I mean there is beauty
in the abstract...and not only in logic and the things that we know about.

By this I mean...we should be wary of egos and feelings of apathy because they can be like evil spirits causing mahem and confusion amongst friends.

to the disheveled masses,that yearn for nothing more than freedom
and finaly we can be seduced by these spirits of ego and apathy and lulled into
a comfort zone...When all were really looking for is a freedom to express our ideas
openly.
In the end it is just a 'poem" open to interpretation. :)
