modernity

it's new-ish

untested fantasy

formally expressed and deeply convicted

becomes tragedy

reality tested and fully exposed

ancient human fallacy

 naturally

our modern day catastrophe

This poem reflects the timeless pattern of human nature - how dreams and convictions when untested seem noble, but when confronted with reality can unravel into tragedy.
This poem is a poignant reminder that unchecked beliefs and repeated mistakes from past still echo in our present, shaping the catastrophes we face today.


Loved this.

Reality a b***h of a good time. And worth fighting for.

the ever-changing modern world can be shattering to the mind. sometimes you have to block it all out for the noise to stop. great writing

This is a sharp and thought-provoking poem. I like how it moves from "untested fantasy" to "modern day catastrophe," showing the arc from idealism to downfall in just a few lines. The minimal style makes the message hit even harder. Nice write!

The fewer the lines the better the downfall I always say.
