Despite efforts for pleasure, regardless of intent,
there persists tohubohu to create discontent.
Despite efforts for order, regardless of desire,
there persists tohubohu to let an aim expire.
Despite efforts for meaning, regardless of input,
there persists tohubohu to make it all kaput.
Despite efforts for triumph, regardless of the goal,
there persists tohubohu to neutralize a soul.
Despite efforts for power, regardless of command,
there persists tohubohu to get an upper hand.
Despite efforts for option, regardless of focus,
there persists tohubohu to cause hocus-pocus.
Despite efforts for verdict, regardless of concern,
there persists tohubohu to alter the sojourn.
