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,
