Self Awareness Departing
self awareness departed some time ago
after a period
where rationale and sense
and even self awareness
rubbed along just fine
eventually life became careless
and the three could not combine
so,
after a period –
in which various graves were dug
self awareness died from unknown causes
where upon,
it was placed
in one of the graves
freshly dug,
it went some distance down
and no one even herd the deafening thud
arrogance marched in,
promising,
that it alone could control self doubt
who itself,
had murdered -
rationale and sense
although it claimed it had an alibi
its alibi was always shaky
in fact, on examination, it looked broken and bent
self awareness departed some time ago
