Error Of Perception Poem by Peter Umoh

Error Of Perception



An 'honourable thing' wrapped round me
Exuded dignifying perception
Not of me, nor myself
Mirror told what it saw
That neighbour won't see beyond
/swindler once wore it
But the clergy down the street
Never misses it, not for a service
He wore it and I saw a clergy
The swindler did but I saw no swindler
This suit had hid him
Concealed his inclinations
Glorifying his absent repute
There was an error of perception
Criminals never look one
When in suit
