Where We Stand

A philosophical take on truth
————

Where We Stand:


truth

the eternal charlatan

notorious chameleon of 

slippery pastures


soothsayer’s elastic spasm

spews gilded promises 

in goblets of gullible gold


culpable, as we are

drunk to the last brim of

lost senses, revel 

in false glory


time

the silent assassin 

eraser of names and dank

deeds alike, meanwhile 


smirks at trophy

moments, prodigal felony of

imagined ego and swallows

brittle bits of fecundity 

in its ravenous womb


in hushed perspective 

silence reigns supreme
