This piece refers to nothing more, and nothing less than the fact that all too often these days, we find out the hard way that things we are told are ‘optional’, are actually mandatory, and if that is not clear enough to us, we’ll eventually be ‘voluntold’.

I must say, I was worried with the slow introduction. It almost was as if you didn't name it correctly from the first few stanzas. Aside from that small quirk, I can agree with your message; I have experienced voluntoldism (Making up words again) myself, and it is very perplexing. In fact, most conventions like that are confusing, unnecessary and have very negative results.
Well, I'll admit that one of the opening stanzas is extraneous, but I've had an urge to find a way to use 'irregardless' in a piece for quite some time now, simply because it's a linguistic abomination that has not only passed into common, accepted usage, but is also more popular than the two parent words that spawned it.
