Askew, in disorder, misaligned, misdirected;
wires of imagination shorted, disconnected.
Square pegs in slightly rounded holes.
Unbelievers, wild herb like, spreading,
ship of likelihood having lost its heading,
on the cold sea pitches and rolls.
Sincerity, handcuffed to reality’s layers,
honesty made impotent by too few players,
respect too easily misplaced.
Grip of reason on slippery railings
displays a list of various failings,
whose origins cannot easily be traced.
What once was clever, now is mundane,
while once respectable now is profane;
no matter how presented.
With nowhere logic, too hesitant grace
is when we first see Lucifer’s smiling face
confusion is invented.

The devil definitely in the detail 🌹
Some very mind provoking lines with deep meaning. (Sincerity, handcuffed to reality's layers, honesty made impotent by too many players) (what once was clever, now is mundane, while once respectable now is profane) nicely done
When grace hesitates the author of lies stirs and revs up the confusion. Very compelling read!
