Absurdity begins & thrives because of some.
Some are ready to give it a red-carpet welcome!
Not all lights are necessary, nor do all glow bright.
How many advocate the extinction of useless lights?

| Extinction of Useless Lights - Yves Tanquy (1927) |
If you share the truth & stand for such a cause,
You are being absurd & on target to suffer loss!
You start afresh with hope & a promising story,
What happens in between gifts no credit or glory.
Absurdity has been normalised; it's in the blood!
I wonder about absurdity- isn't it quite absurd?
“Every absurdity has a champion to defend it”
- Oliver Goldsmith
