Delusion
Delusion is living blind,
Unseeing reality.
It weaves a web to find
It own disparity.
Content not to face
Real factors that exist,
Delusion will always
Deny Reason, resist.
Delusion seeks to negate
Life's meaning, human values-
All we honor it berates,
In truth, it has no use.
Wisdom, hope, and courage-
These are real things.
But in Delusion's page
Are reduced to nothing.
Deluded minds can't grasp
What makes this life worth living.
It lives on wearing a mask,
Resisting logic, decaying.
