The Verisimilitudes of Fools

The Verisimilitudes of Fools

Stricken by catastrophe
impoverished, our hearts
hunger, though small

imaginations flounder
beside the appearance of truth.

Blinded by the allure of false reason,
the sacred becomes obscured

apathy takes its turn
on the wheel

driving fevered dreams
over fallow fields

harvesting nothing
but the dying
chorus of false empathy, killing

the scholar’s intellect with
the unremarkable stamp
of opinion.

A longtime admirer and writer of poetry, short stories and songs, I'm a self taught musician on guitar, piano, harmonica, mandolin and banjo. After military service I returned to school and achieved my Bachelor's of Science in Music Therapy. I am the managing editor of a popular online writing publication called The Weekly Knob currently hosted on Medium. I do copywriting and editing as a side hustle and would like to hear about your project(s) if you are in need of an editor or copywriter. I am also available to collaborate in the processes of songwriting, performing and recording. You may contact me through my website. One of my favorite CD recordings of original music available on iTunes is 'The Deep End' by Sandra Knight. You can also find me and several free studio tracks for download on Soundcloud.com.
