    In the animated wasp corner.

    Hold your doubt close,
    Keep it burning,
    No matter how small
    The ember.
    Slaughter belief
    Before it grows.
    We are idiots, easily fooled.
    Only love and doubt are true,
    I doubt that too.

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    Loved that title!
    Enjoyed your poem, Jerry.

    I liked the sound and sense of the last two lines.

    It’s very Bukowski(esque), who is holy. To me.

    Happy to be remotely compared to Bukowski for a second. Cheers Tony
