We seem to know so many things
But truly, what do we know?
The convictions we hold, are they ours to own?
Or notions to which we’ve been sold by ‘wise’-souls?
Like the madwoman’s underclothes
Were they once hidden – forbidden
Like the bum on the bench
To whom no compassion is given
wow! this is so true. Crisp and beautiful. great poem..and wise too ;)
