The Catastrophe of Delusion

The catastrophe of delusion,
Conquered into submission.
And defeated by undeniable truth...
Wounds the minds of many!

The audacity of reality,
Tearing down walls of pretense.
Leaves an exposure of falsities...
With nowhere to hide.
Or a fence to sit!

Those aware with focused eyes,
Take comforts away...
From the ones medicated.
The ones sedated,
Who board daily...
Their escapading 'trips' as scehduled.

Anything to keep their minds numbed...
With detached satisfaction.

The catastrophe of delusion,
Conquered into submission.
And defeated by undeniable truth...
Wounds the minds of many!
As a way of life,
Quickly slips from their hands!
As those misunderstandings,
Are no longer in need of clarification.

What comes to an end...
Ends!
