Self Interest

Pretense is posing
as prestige.
Illusion in shroud
is emboldened, proud.
Negligence excused,
children abused,
wasted, confused.

Imagine a nation
of imagination,
liberation,
where Titans overgrown
are overthrown,
rather than eating us
out of house and home.

The truth unalloyed,
we cannot avoid
nor choose the method
of instruction employed.

What will come will.
Come what will.

Abdicated, or it was abducted,
dharma seems to have
graciously self-destructed,
uploaded and imploded.

Believe.
It did not leave.

Unseen, it is protected,
and so, perfected.
It will come when
it is least expected.
