Is wisdom still wise when it spews from the tongue of the fool?
Do I have the right to claim to mend a mind with a broken tool?
Miscommunication,
From the heart to the mind, In times of desperation,
This is my self speculation,
A critical observation, of my broken motivations,
My crooked amputations of limbs that no longer function,
Philosophy is it fearful or beautiful?
Politics is it revolutionary or suitable?
Religion is it inclusion or devision?
Love, is it divinely inspired or clouded vision?
For eternity will I be treading water in indecision,
Locked up in the bars of a multi faceted prison,
Is plurality a fallacy? Morality a tragedy?
When clear perception is pure fantasy, vanity fuels insanity,
It's clearly the prerogative of a poet to be vaque,
I internalise my rage, to restrain truth from the light of day,
That I'm vulnerable in a world of daggers and need to be saved,
But propaganda tends to dress up underneath the darkest shade,
Their smiles turn and fade, love is a cruel charade,
When it's funded by desires to keep the mind enslaved,
Keep contradictions at bay, ignorance ingrained,
Portrayed, as foolishness, but we learn foremost by our mistakes,
For the sake of humanity, let us breath and find clarity,
In the necessity of parity, acknowledging reality,
The essence of spirituality says we're all flawed and need charity,
How is this reflected in our evident disparities?
