Delusion Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Delusion is living blind,
Unseeing reality.
It weaves a web to find
It own disparity.

Content not to face
The real factors that exist,
Delusion will always
Deny reason, resist.

Delusion seeks to negate
Life's meaning, human values-
All we honor it will berate,
In truth, it has no use.

Wisdom, hope, and courage-
These are real things.
But in Delusion's page
Are reduced to nothing.

Deluded minds cannot grasp
What makes this life worth living.
It lives on wearing a mask,
Resisting logic, decaying.

*Delusion - a fixed false belief that is resistant
to reason or confrontation with actual fact:
