In the animated wasp corner.

[Jerrybaldy]

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.

I love this. Ambiguity is the best

Loved that title!
Enjoyed your poem, Jerry. :)

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

Thank you tony, Kiz and YesNo. I've edited and tightened.

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

[Jerrybaldy]

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