Poetry-Thing Thursday: Illusions, Delusions

~ S.M. Nolan

Illusions. Delusions.
Superstar collusions.
What mad profusions,
have granted such allusions,
as those formed by occlusions?

We stand for fraternity,
and to procure eternity,
for all whom modernity,
garners uncertainty,
from opportunity.

With salutations,
society’s ovulations
warrant congratulations,
in hopes of greater gradations,
‘stead of capitulations.

But the painful suicide,
of the truth we do hide,
can no more deride,
than a wave at high-tide,
one hoisted port-side.

With it we contend,
but I do not depend,
on your lunatic bend,
for realities mend,
and you can be penned.

Until your reality,
meets the Wisdom Tree
We’ve no need of thee,
so you may go free,
as we pause to take knee.

Life is no game.
You should feel shame,
for the way that you maim,
the world you find tame.
Ignorance your claim.

I hereby remove,
you from the groove,
until I see that you’ve,
found life to improve,
and have wisdom behoove.

    1. Thank you! I am extremely humbled– and grateful for your readership! I will, of course, partake. Unfortunately, my brain’s a bit scrambled lately and I’m a little confused as to how it works: I read your posts, but am lost as to where the posted quotes come from. (me? Another wordpress I read? anywhere?) And whether they must be done in consecutive days.

      Either way, I’m looking forward to it!
