Scrip Of Reasonable Thinking Poem by dimitrios galanis

In life's theater which passions stage
suspended everywhere the lies are starring
with all masquarade's counterfeits
upon the masque of Trueness they wear
lest it nude insult mores bonos
used to dry wefts of unspecified senses
in front of flaming hearths consolations sparkling.

Ecstatic the onlookers from its Enlightment
flood the public fora
to spread the limelight of its fiery tongue
to crowds absent.
And you who did not deigned
to attend its on scene Epiphany
dare to ask the question
whether it was its naked idol
or any counterfeitmasque of it instead.

Your audacity is struck by the thunderbolts
of those 'who know' brandishing
on hand the guarantee of having it heard and seen
typed on theticket of the performance.
What a pity, soliloquize, not to give performances
the Common Sense too,
so that you had your own scrip of reasonable thinking!
