Limiting my limits
.
.
.
Are not your eyes set on the truth
Or do they seek out the illusions
made up from the images ofย your youth
Have you catagorized the abstract from practical truth
Or elevated your opinions
to be the irreversible truth ?
Where is the lamp that Diogenes bequeathed to you ?
Do you now stumble over the light ,
over false accusations with fingers pointing at you ?
Are they not false prophets
full of wind ?
Whose breath blows out the candles of tomorow
leaving the shadows to strut within ?
Turn the words to fire and let them consume the wooden thoughts
From the dust to the ashes
Salt poured on the lashes
Burn the truth to create
light for the righteous
