not grounding mentality
in bounds of reality
vows turn unverifiable
truth becoming pliable
judgments unreliable
when the working of our brain
leads toward being less sane
few usually agree
about structure of life's key
existence is that which is
beyond schemes in sales pitches
theories in various niches
worth being more selective
in forming of perspective
the self-image we maintain
was created by our brain
designed and fabricated
by what recall dictated
and ego then inflated
not altering that which be
only what mind thinks it sees
An unsettled soul seemingly always chasing propaganda
voice from the equator, a quarter of a roar but heard in Uganda
he’s a member of a serious interaction, that’s a fake platform
on reputation’s policy, he can’t just conform
his name is a broken glass, his hand is slim
sunk so deep, to retrace will be a hard fought win
the atmosphere created, to more than most isn’t prissy
any unverifiable statement, is painted messy
mind’s never cold, blood’s never warm, traits are preposterous
his touches and sights, always disastrous
only from his lips is a Lion’s mane a pony tail
landing straight into spam are this person’s returned mails
shoulders may be high among peers but walks pigeon-toed
on character’s savings, he has so much owed
less than a metre wide is his only existing bridge
as no coin is left in the weight of his prestige
restitution dials, he picks and replies
his portrait can now be accepted in the community’s panoply
this his newly starched garment has astound
for everyone to wish he comes around.
