- Punctilion

Punctilion
by Ander Morreith

Oblivious to ignorance
Upon deaf ears incessantly
Thinking shallow, black and white
Ordaining to humanity
Compelling, dispelling sanity
So lost and full of vanity
Assuming better than the rest
Spouting raging taunting pouting
Stemmed of culture so ordered tight
A defined path, a guiding light
Deviating not from expectancy
Conformed, believing self is right
Yet wrong, existing
Closed, the mind
Eyes are misting
Soothing, blind
Walking, listing
Chatters on
Undesisting
Hearing gone
Gone? Yes, gone; deafened so
So sure, so loud the words
Hearing not what others know
So loud, cannot be heard
Spouting thoughts so binding tight
In strict supremacy
Judging what is wrong and right
A living fallacy
Of truth in penury
From truth beguiled, cursed with light
In truth, blinded, avidly
