The Roads Desire Built

Tristan Robert Lange

Ignorance stands in confidence like concrete,
Immovable and irrevocable—
Intelligence obscured by desire
Destined to lead down all the wrong roads
No matter what warning forebodes.

    Strong, logical, philosophical and poetic quite a bunch in one short passage. A lovely bouquet of fragrance that smells of the truth. Loved it a definite Fave

                Delightful. Nothing like the absolute winner in the zombie apocalypse, the epitome of their essence delineated in a trice so beautifully. Excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
