The poison of naiveté

Naiveté

vice, strength and weakness.

 

Affording sustenance

to the cruel

illusion

of

could, can, will.

 

Aspirational notions

push past –

hollow enunciations

of

practicality in conflict

with reality.

 

Ambrosial lies of supremacy

obscure common ground

as

haughty inebriation propels

the assembled

towards the cathedra –

to be seated –

as wanton blindness

the award to all

basking

in the countenance

of the exalted.

 

While

insolence emboldens

the sprint from

imminent

ugliness of the truth.

 

The terror

of the mirror –

tendering

the immutable

contradictions –

of self.
