Benjamin Bartley Poet Light Verse

The Acid Test

Question everything. 
Reality is slipperier 
Than you might think. 
Here, here 
Have a drink of some electric Kool Aid 
With me. Then, tell me what you think. 
While our minds are free to explore 
Reasoning and understanding goes  
Right out the door and  
Weird able too see 
Why everything seems so basic. 

Life is meant to be fun.
Slipperiness is seeing the world questioning everything, everyone and
Don't be so shocked at what you just might see.

Especially, with me.
