Delusions Deconstructed (poem)
Delusions Deconstructed (poem) --- These days I talk to God The walls have fallen all around me In the debris lies my hubris With assorted delusions of peace by action The wisdom I had was only a mirror's reflection In a world full of a twilight that shines in a million shades I do not solve problems I am one. I throw up my hands In prayer and supplication In the ways of a defeated man Finding shattered glasses in a palace of illusions. I see monkeys in human form Launch missiles from their memoried tales Lighting up night skies to slay the internally dead. I talk to God these days His silences still echo from the mountains of my shaken being -- Madhavan N (2026)
