Given To Believe



It is a strange niche wresting whatever balance is 
left in your sagacity - sane views want to suggest 
you’re not alone - tho it’d be the better of best for 
for whatever comes t’ be freed taints of humanity; 

Insistent guardian angels will resist the plea you’ll 
make in lieu of who’s the culprit - yep, it is you, & 
there’s no denying the regency; truth will not play 
a Catch-22-riven-space to disappear into, empty

And without trace, maybe; but that, too, is whom 
you’ve become - and at least we are agreed; so I 
relieve you of th’ responsibility to make martyr of 
yourself, & what a farcical, tho rat’s-arse, epithet 

It’d be anyway; thus you are liberated to express 
what it is that makes the niche your hiding place 
where brains matter more than sanity suggests - 
but then it’s the way you were given to believe…
