A poem meant to ignite inspiration and critical thinking.
By Joe Tidei

Misconception triggering confusion
With ignorance leading to delusion

Perceptions become jaded
From the bright lights that have faded

Inferences seeking answers
But the truth reveals the cancers

Understanding forming thesis'
The conscience is blown to pieces

Identifying all the unknown
Still hiding behind our thrones

So scared of the harsh reality
We starting finding our own mortality

Replacing truth with irrationality
By blinding our objectivity

Redundancy to stay insane
As we hold our truths in vein

Cacooned by the social wreath
Inside the hypocrisy of our own beliefs

Repulsed by perceived instigators
Resistance against all infaltrators

Religiously focused and devoted
Forgive and forget cocked n loaded

As an eye for an eye we come to find
Makes every single one of us blind

Obsessing through our rationality
This is our true fatality
