Intersubjectivity

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

We try to sound

Profound

As we

Expatiate

Not meaning to

Pontificate

Philosophies

We contemplate

More often end up

Platitudes

Convictions we assert

Assured

Of righteousness

And rectitude

Conflating faith with certitude

In provenances

We conclude

Consensus from the misconceptions

Answers to subsume

The questions

Even if the faintest doubt

Still lingers on each word

Of mouth

And furtively betrays

Ideals

As easily

As Death reveals

Itself to all of those in time

Who claimed in life

Divine design

More absolute than its unmaking

Predicating

Their awaiting

Finitely

To resurrection

On hypotheses

Of heaven

Fallible

Incredible

Intangible

Untenable

But nonetheless

Congenital

Is man in all his arrogance’s

Gods upon a pedestal
