“This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst, expect the best, and take what comes.” Hannah Arendt
We Are Much Greater We are much greater than we could ever conceive, more things are possible than all our small dreams, when we refuse to take our lives for granted and accept our blurring vision of reality. More things are possible than all our small dreams, we must liberate ourselves from panacea reality and acceptor blurring vision of reality, a gaudy carnival enshrined in meaningless routine. We must all liberate ourselves from panacea reality, those institutions of our moralised fantasies, a gaudy carnival enshrined in meaningless routine, the obligatory lie that is its own judgment. Those institutions of our moralised fantasies, when we refuse to take our lives for granted, the obligatory lie that is its own judgment, we are much greater than we could ever conceive. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Indeed….we are much greater than what we see. You have projected the truth in a fantastic way!!♡♡♡

Oh, Paul, this poem is wonderful. I love the content and am fascinated by the structure. Is there a name for this poetic form? I love it and want to try it.

Thank you so much LuAnne, yes – it is a Pantoum (pantun) form, of which there are now several ways of going about them, but worth looking up.
