Paradox Part I - The Dream

I'll start my poem series entitled "Paradox". This poem series was created due to an inspiration caused by the length of "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull which is actually a very long song lasting for 48+ minutes. Hope you enjoy this piece & the succeeding parts.

PARADOX
The Dream

Maybe you will listen to this, maybe you will just ignore.
Or maybe you will find some things that you will someday explore.
Whatever the case, these words will come out naked in the light.
They will never be hindered by anyone, nor by self-made sight.

Look all around you, confusing things outnumber conscious minds!
Futile minds hide the truth in a place no one actually finds.
Self-satisfaction is the new fashion, Purpose brought to the bin.
Intangibles serve as lullabies, while tangibles make desperate minds keen.

Look at that thinker, he already does not know what is true.
Even his knowledge of not knowing he does not have a clue.
Without hesitation he jumps off a building testing his doubt.
Death quickly grabbed his entirety, his last words beamed in a shout.

Look at that person, now he speaks of equality & tolerance!
But he speaks of faith as intolerant, nothing but a nuisance.
Look how he argues his point with contradiction as side dish.
He is not making sense though inquiring minds he seems to fish.

See how total skepticism works? It comes to no truth nor lies.
Yet the effort to be impartial makes it really smell nice.
See how people are willing to be confused time & again.
While rotting.
