Dilemma.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Dilemma.

 

The fantasy-bubble of pseudo hope
misinformly excited shines
for a while before bursting with bloat.

Sham swallows gall as pretend morphs
into stress- beaded self defeat
showing dilemma succeeds any false.

Crushed by addictive distrust tension 
starts growth of delusion where
blindness sees only its own largesse.

Faint souls who yield to inertia's mesh
may wallow in doubt yet inside    
weep for sight of life's truly authentic.

    Beautifully worded Fay, and I agree with you, it is a dilemma, especially under the current circumstances.

    Hope that you are keeping well in the continuing madness.

    Ben.

      Grateful thanks Ben for your supportive comment - - and yes our present dilemma fits the bill nicely for this little tirade about inertia. I am keeping well thank you dear friend.

          Very good write Fay, finding the truth in these days certainly is a dilemma.
