Geekdom - a word only to me
A word that speaks sic-fi and Lord of the Rings
A labeling word as judgmental as can be
But this word is so much more to me.

I am a born, raised, proud geek
And this i embrace, it makes me unique
And I'm not terrified by jocks or bullies
I mean how cliche would that be?!

No, geekdom is something much more important
A word stricken with such force that when
Something or someone tries to mock it
It remains steady, resolute, like the four horsemen.

But I've gotten off topic, strayed from my path
The word geekdom means not a mastery of math
Nor one of science, please don't make me laugh
Geekdom is simply to geek out too much maybe provoking wrath.

And now that you know what it is, this is why I write
I have been accused of this crime at slight
So I write this poem not to delight
But to protect my image, so important, so bright.

Geekdom is not a crime, I must say
Even if quote Star Wars each day
Or speak Klingon openly without delay
I mean I don't...of course, but who cares anyway.

I am a declared geek, and proud to be
But so few of us act so nerdy
And even if we do, this is a free country
So don't make geekdom bad, stop judging me!

I declare today geekdom to be new
To have a new meaning, one a little less rude
That to "geek out" is a great thing, if you feel in the mood
Therefor geekdom means your just that much cooler, like you know who!

And by the way, to all of you nay Sayers
The people who say "There are too many video game players!"
Just let me say, we geeks have many layers
And through life, through you, we are still innovators.

So here's to my geeks, and to geekdom
Let us never forget where we come from
Nor who the best captain is (Picard wins, duh!)
Here's to the geeks, the best family there ever was.
