Scrutiny
Sadness scrambles to survive
and tears become termites
Self reliant moles taint speechless lips
and form explanations yet to ripen
Tears that reject wiping
smear pride's respiratory system
leaving heart beat unpuffed
Humility is Reality
What makes sense
is not always understood...
And weeping ensues.
