Beasts of Burden

Feelings, like hidden facts, are latent rather than complementary when suppressed and repressed by society, that ecopolitical beast of enculturation's burden. Glass ceilings, like lowest denominator floors, are hidden rather than mutually transcendent when oppression is justified by sacrosanct tradition. Trails, like byzantine networks, evaporate rather than lead to resolutions when pressed upon those at home on other paths. Wisdom, like humor, remains opaque when impressed with its own hubris. hoary beast of history's exegetical burden.
