philosophaster

The all knowing of un-needed to be known

upon his rose tinged plastic throne

Important contributor of verbal defecation 

the pinnacle of my pitiful humour 

Illusory master who looks to his inferiors! 

Basking obliviously in his ignorance 

First to yell finish, yet slow in pursuit

Voice so loud and depth so minuscule 

Relishing madly in his fake grandeur 

Clouded by his deceptive theatrics

The source of my daily headache

The hypocrite on his hands and knees

who looks to others and cannot lead

concealed in his veil of shallow deciet 

The great pretender ceased to be born!

Un-tailored mask that cannot quite hold

pseudo- intellect boasting away

claims true to his credit which he stole away 

Devoid of devotion though will insist otherwise 

Sure of a poised glance but eyes cannot hide 

The deceiver will receive his comeuppance

a plee to his evaporating audience 

left alone to brood with an incapable mind

storing information that renders him blind

Beyond comprehension leaves his head in his hands

His crowd has left without a sound.

nothing like a poet on his or her own pedestal ....tooting a horn that no one is really paying attention to.

feeling as the know it all philosopher to his little subjects...of no consequence
---soon finds himself with an empty auditorium echoing his empty words.

[Wraith.]

Ah, a missed chance to include something about a desolated auditorium I now see :p, a platform for his incessant ramblings to die down haha. Thanks for the review.

An indictment gift wrapped in poetic form. It remembed me of some professors I knew and wish I hadn't. I especially appreciated the clever play-on words and throat-grabbing accusations. A truly excellent work that I thoroughly enjoyed.

It's neither possible, nor necessary to attempt to describe what’s obvious. Trying to do so is folly. Folly is our world’s most lucrative business; for this world's a ship of fools.

[Wraith.]

Perception is just.

[Aethereal]

Events that are known in themselves are known through introspection and not perception, and this is what I mean by the obvious. The most important things that we’re aware of are synergies that have no perceptible description. We are either aware of synergies gained through introspection or we're not, and if we're not then no one can make us aware of them no matter how hard they try. Synergies are greater than the sum of their parts, and therefore dissecting them into parts tells us nothing about them. Most arguments are arguments over attempted descriptions of synergies that should never have been attempted in the first place, arguments over failed attempts at doing the impossible.

[Wraith.]

Introspection is just self perception. I don't believe that not having an awareness is set in stone but differing opinions. All things process and form.

[Wraith.]

Besides, I think it's a misplaced analogy, theres lacking and then theres consciously trying to be something you aren't. It's not impossible to progress and if you don't understand that perhaps you have misunderstood what intent is in the writing, the importance of something is subjective.

[Aethereal]

Perception is done through the senses to get an empirical result. Introspection is the awareness of Conscioiusness of itself in itself, but that awareness can't be communicated. Some things are just self evident.

[Sami Khalil]

This was honest and splendid...Bravo.............

[Wraith.]

thankyou Sami!

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:)...........

[KAin]

Perhaps the world truly spins about the subject... till the honest and the true take it in our hands and crush it to show how small they really are...
Little things, little thoughts, hidden in the conceits of "musing".
There's something breathless, angry and fierce in this one...
Great work, Wraith...

[Wraith.]

I appreciate the review. I put more emotion into writing about things that genuinely frustrate me perhaps.

[A. Amos]

This is brave, honest and raw reality you have predicted in poem, I have to say...and feel honor saying; you're one wise writer and your work speak volumes. Great job...

[Wraith.]

Hugely appreciated as I barely view myself as a writer.

[A. Amos]

You're most welcome, well from now on you should:)
