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
