A definition of I as it is written in 10 pages; page 6
by Vere Mantratriadsupposed fame is an intriguing factor
whether supposed by former or latter
but without basis it turns to ego,
bruised and battered, seeking shelter
without answers it burns out or fools itself
clawing its way to another status
held on to anything in its reach
dragging all reason down with it
it assumes, but does not hold place in hope
for hope is an oddity based in assumption
where anything goes without saying
or says far too little in far too much
so it breathes in gasoline, breeding fumes
supplemental only to self reliance
and detrimental to same or otherwise
picking fights and fields of id
it is a reservoir of refuse, designer crafted
a further recognition of violated recognisance
bailed out, bartered for identity of cards
suffering a greater slight than allotted
sacrificed for the greater evil and
made good for one and the same
a fame of supposition, carved unrecognizable
supported slowly and hardly a fame at all 03/26/2009 Posted on 03/26/2009

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/26/09 at 02:44 PM Definitely throws on a few shades of the world that we don't see a whole lot of. Great flow and energy in this, and the language really punches that imagery over the top. |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 03/26/09 at 09:12 PM Your title grabs and the content is like dropping in on a well written essay of theory on the life of fame...interesting perspective, word choice impeccable and the flow is fast and intellectual. smh. |
