Written on Jun 10, 2020 

Perception.
View.
Belief.
Developed,
evolved on
this little
rock.
Small view
local perception.
Rhetoric.
Views local,
limited.
Finite.
Finite
infinitesimal
knowledge
formulation
held high.
Held high
as universal
truth.
Truth
shackled by
ignorance
lack of
understanding.
Lack of
knowledge.
Terrarium
creatures
prancing around
spouting nonsense
as truth,
universal truth.
Terrarium
devoid of
understanding,
devoid of
truth.
Left to
its own
devices.
