DELUSION

DELUSION

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion
But at first glance, any deeper meaning is not easy to see
I assume such a saying should never lead to any confusion

What is the connection here that seems to be escaping me
Perhaps It is just a vague concept, a jumble of fancy words
Yet it’s allegedly a famous saying, so what really can it be

One surely starts by a separation of whey from the curds
Exposing a deeper resonant truth, or maybe nothing at all
The validation of such ideas like this, may be for the birds

It sounds as if one should now wake up and heed the call
But for me, it is more like a fading echo in an empty hall
