A PARADIGM , FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ?

all the world's a facade

and we by any other name, pretense

random victims of our own destiny

at the whim of Earthly consequence

 

now, our grasp on reality is tenuous at best

and naiveté is the bane of youth

yet we're taught to take life literally in a world

where nonsense masquerades as truth

 

convention's cup does overflow

warm sweet nectar, sweet consent

enticing us until we drink

and to drink until our heart's content

 

but beware this concoction of wisdom and clarity

intoxicating mixture, elixir, enhancer

prepared by the jester to toast the wisdom of fools

who so easily find satisfaction

within life's comedy of answers
