WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE SHALLOW'S DEEP

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

the ineptitude of a clear advantage point
plummeted that sharp inner view
to the surface
bedazzled not
by an over fed ego thus
dripping as they were with arrogance
faulty eyes read faulty words
spewing faulty opinions
to make even an evolving mind cringe
whittling the image sharp
such two paths must find their
v in the road
and detour deliberately
from each other
little good can be boiled off
such shallow bickering
amid such extreme disagreement
at nearly every point of comparison
this tortoise must sprint ahead
there are wiser races yet to be entered
whereas the heir only grasps tatters of
the idea of what it is to succeed upon
the pond of the thought to be, unsuccedable
the raging headache given
was only a mere afterthought............
