History, Consensus, Genius

Each determined by itselves 
For itshelves 
The lake is an ocean
When we say and see

To strive to achieve
Is to finally leave
The land of innocent goo
While gaga is certain and small
Additional syllables are gargantuan 

Look closely down the primary courses
As mules pretend to be horses
And any given horse 
Wouldn't know its type 
On the abstract vacant plain

Concede merely for advanced future position
And you'll be set up
To take that
Which the wisest will always evade
