CONFUSION – V

 

There is a confusion
it’s already been written
does that confusion reflect

      brilliant as this mocking
      sunshine   nono   who
      says a sun & its shine
      mock
      pouring cool radiance on
      a craven broken humanity
      deserving of
      mockery.

But
those reflections of a
brilliant innocent sunshine

      how   though   can the sun &
      its shine remain
      innocent from
      afar from
      such
      heights
      doesn’t it see
      what lies ahead.

This confusion is
     reflection
projection deflection
of others rather than
see me for what I am rather than see themselves as what they are rather than
see what’s what and who’s who rather than
suffer the poor pustule covered earth.

Having anything but a clear eye
a guilty conscience.
anything but confusion
buried deep
under layers of an
unknowing
soul.
