The Impotence Of Titles
What grants a title some special authority;
giving one power, over another;
It’s a form of basing all life on seniority;
like being one’s older brother.
Who is the judge, making the decision;
assigning order; good, better, best?
My place in life’s hierarchy
The Ignorance Of Arrogance
There is no limit to the foolishness of pride;
for it is the main cause of ignorance;
preventing much wisdom, from getting inside;
blaming mistakes as mere circumstance.
Whenever we think we’re the top playing card;
someone reshuffles the deck;

her lips reached out; longing to be
The Broken Chandelier
The chandelier is a metaphor of life;
created for its beauty and utility;
snowflakes of glass dispersing light;
possessing an air of nobility.
Hanging from nowhere; scattering Light;
from the particles of glass it came;
created to transform the darkness of night;
