Anatomy of Illusion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber

It often seems to me that everyday life is all about reading between lines, exposing rhetoric, making choices based on hunches…and hoping for the best.

ANATOMY OF ILLUSION

World keeps turning;

life choices

like everyday heroes

exposing tricks of light

for shadows

World keeps turning;

its worst divisions

hosting jaded heroes

performing tricks of light

among shadows

World keeps turning

open minds,

its comic strip heroes

chasing Job’s comforters

into shadows

World keeps turning;

room at the top

for air brushed heroes

blaming the worst selfies

on shadows

World keeps turning;

Earth Mother

inciting its heroes

to challenge illusions cast

by shadows

Shadows, infiltrating

a world turning

on everyday heroes

tripping the light fantastic

into chaos
