Fictitious Realities

The perceptual conceptual-
reality within
is guised with lies told by men.
Taking and making and finding the course,
means
accepting or rejecting another's force.
Slipping sands down the hour glass,
clouds one's mind from their sunken cast.
Fading away in history,
how can one know what they see?
Standing alone or accepting the norms,
nothing escapes,
mind-altering storms.
Stolen even moldy thoughts from men,
causes old carcasses to rise up and win.
Question and doubt, quickly cast out
stop belief in fictitious realities of clout.
