Tares

I have sewn a golden field of illusions

in the fertile black soil of ignorance.

Under a warm sun of desire,

watered by rains of false promises,

it has ripened and grown ready for harvest.

Gathered and bound in sheaves of delusion,

it is sent to rumor\'s market,

where it is milled between the stones of imagination.

Now undetectable from other flour,

it is sold to the masses

who mix it with the yeast of hope

It raises, then falls,

leaving life\'s bread

poisonous and bitter to the taste.
