we gasp at beauty and lofty words <br />and wear badges of holiness and purity <br />and we have such transformational ideals <br />and most sacred truths, and unquestionable Revelations - <br />but walk everyday on mud and slime <br />and sit down on earth that cuts and maims <br />and lie down in beds of flowery poppy <br />and live each minute within in petty ways: <br />we are such talkers, man and woman <br />we are such persuaders <br />we deceive ourselves most<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-are-such-persuaders/
