Analysis of am I hearing what I am hearing?
Eulogies, some uncalled-for,
heightened a fool’s swagger.
Idioms like daggers
thrown wildly through minds’ battle,
without savvy.
Tongues pronounced fallicies for oblivious entities;
to ensure association in a tight huddle.
Reside in your conviction, sojourn in time’s passion.
Imprudence embraced ignorance, by judging herself.
Ears cocked to hear exaltations
and silly lips pay tributes to utterance’s deceptions
