REJECTION

"There's nothing in your entry
    we can use.
    You're not a porn star,
    victim, zealot, prince or teen.
    Though you're sincere,
    you can't convince me
    this will sell.
    Go find a different Muse.
    You're boring.
    Not your work,
    but who you are.
    Try bondage, drugs, disease,
    religion, crime.
    It's taste.
    You need profanity not rhyme.
    Think calendars.
    Think mugs.
    Then you'll go far.
    No profit without sequels!
    Man, it's tough to build
    a hot new brand.
    So where's your HIT?
    In our portfolio
    this doesn't fit.
    I'm sorry,
    being brilliant's not enough.
    Now change your style and bio,
    or, instead, come back and see me
    when you're twelves years dead."
