Judging And Urging Friends Away Poem by John Sensele

Reserve judgment
Accept where and how you find people
Instead of seeing in them the imaginary element
You find simple and supple

To earn you disappointment and frustration
When people play and pray
The best way they know how without your remonstration
Leading them further and further astray

When facts contradict
Your perception of reality
That fails to meet the standard you predict
Must abide by the finality

You view in the mirror
Grown and thrown overboard
By the furor and terror
That fly and cry on board

Images you create
To suit the pigeonholes
You infiltrate and penetrate
Because you detect nonexistent flaws

Your imagination sees
In the Utopia
Your mind sails in seas and quays
Resident only in the myopia

Alive in figments
In illusions that sail far away
From real rudiments
You elect and opt to cause partners to delay

Connecting with the image
That leaves you blind
The more you rummage
For solutions so unkind

You find yourself alone
In the morning and at night
The more you clone
Reality in which you delight

Although they leave your world delated
The more victims of your slander discover
You deserve to be isolated
From the covert cover

In which defeat
Grows into the only solution
Victims believe your feet
Plunge as the solution evolution

Takes shape
Crystallizes into the structure in which lies
Can no longer escape
Scrutiny to determine the death and dearth of your ties.
