Following Narcissus

I don't understand this game of lies.
This narcissism of talentless youth.

Pressing in.

When did we all get so lonely?
That the briefest wiff of gratification can make us quiver with pride.

Children but half a score ago
With the want of more, feuling our angst
seeping from the gloss of wisdom

I simply ask for truth

To deny the contentment of ignorance
for the bliss of knowledge

Such a thick smog of excitement
careless youth

and nervous eyes.
