Strange Wisdoms
We find knowledge as a lesson,
Taught that it’s a blessing,
Confessing our transgressions,
Consequences stating messages
Setting truth as our liberty
Mutual to the tears of reality
Indeed it may be actual
But far removed from tactful
We’re brutal in our honesty
Barbaric in value
Literal interpretations,
And final in first impressions
Self-centered in our intentions
Too much to mask our prejudice
Our pride is superficial
And bordering detrimental
We know it, but yet ignore it
Strange wisdoms of our condition
Self-inflicted and cataclysmic
The catalyst to our destruction
