The presentation
Intense was the preparation,
For the all important presentation,
That art of collecting argument for selling a point,
To create a illusion of wealth, health or viability of the joint,
O for how long will you , O mind ,the confused association make,
Between a single event and the passage,
Not distinguish wedding from a marriage,
Or the stature of a person, from the poise of their carriage,
The poetry, from the inspirations' source,
The illusion,that is this world, from its' sustaining force,
How much disappointment, disillusionment and heartache,
O gullible mind ,will it take ,
To learn to differentiate,
Between the substance and the package ?
