Orderliness

I like your panoramic style;
It vibes of pure efficiency.
Your perfect sense of order is
Just short of austere O.C.D.

Your penchant toward proficiency
Implies a form of artistry
No artist’s palette has the
Gripping colors
Or the eye to see.

Form and fashion have a place when
Competence is on the line.
The process and routine must never fail.
And the keeper of the lamp must
Never fault to make the lighthouse shine
Lest the battered waters should prevail.

We yield to order as a
Safe alternative to anarchy
And so, preserve the status quo and
Keep a bit of sanity.

But ways and manners may contort to
Tactics quite unique, so
The wise man seeks alternatives
And thinks before he speaks.
