Idealism is a Lie We Inherit


Memories play back in your mind

You’ve now seen shadows that were hidden from the light

You, like them, grieve and swallow

The pain carves you deep, it carves you hollow

What do you wait for

Idealistic advice?

I hope these next lines then do suffice-

Turn away, child, whilst you still can

Live, without question,

In the delusion of man.
