CarpeNoctem in Poetry & Free Verse

Veritas

•

see the world through repercussion

through bad action in justification

trip over an illusion

to gain more validation

or seek admiration

in the land of manipulation

where each life decision

is made without clear vision

in the wrong direction

so lost in contradiction

for real truth’s a mere fiction

defeated by self-deception

hides behind false good intention

dissent stirs strong reaction

spit of hate over self-reflection

reinforces a pleasant division.

something’s off with sweet disposition

but once again, gut feelings work with

precision

between the lines full of blurred definition

at last one soul is saved from pseudo affection.
