How we build the world on
unbelievable truths and
discoverable mysteries.
What clear fallacies we rely on
to make our misery tolerable.
Violently we demand
relaxation,
providing poison-laden remedies
to our souls soothing ills.
Fictitious reality
spins our world ’round,
yet we insist that our blindness
will lead us to the light.
Which is worth more?
Ignorant understanding? or
Competent despair?
…I missed the eight-lines part of the prompt… O_O Oops!
This is fabulous–my fave part is “fictitious reality spins our world ’round”; I know about that–it is “dangerously” safe.
Thank you very much! 🙂 I’m glad you liked it! That was my favorite line as well. XD
Cool!
Wow! So many questions opening up in what passes for a mind here.
Inspiring stuff, love the question at the end.
More please.
