Doubts Are Traitors

doubts are my traitors
                                      dressed in uniforms of debaters
                                       they argue against ideas into drought
                                                    then all-out,bean-sprout they snout
                                                     scaring the best ideas into mere fumes
                                                       as they groom more fears and fancy flights
                                                              they set the looms rolling in broad lights
                                                                   before they lead the mind into tombs
                                                                         all empty but full of plumes
