A Rhetoric

Mistakes, more often than not,

Accompanied by mistakes,

Replaced by more mistakes.

Lessons, more often than not,

Accompanied by misinterpretation,

Replaced by more misunderstanding.

Deliberate distortion,

Unscrupoloue extortion,

Accompanied by mistakes,

Replaced by more mistakes than understanding.

x

We stand in the world, where,

Definition of tolerance no longer distinct, instead,

It's vague.

We fight the war, which

Tolerance never fully understood,

Mistakes never fully learnt.

We chant the rhetoric, which

Meaning never fully grasped,

Action never translated from words.

x

Enlightenment, at the end of the day,

Masked by plethora of mistakes,

Clouded by misundertanding,

And ignorance.
