Paper-Thin Constructs

Paper-thin constructs.

That's what:
   our worldviews,
   our social theories,
   our political standings,
   our religious musings,
   our knowledge,
are all made of.

Threaded in the pulp are the stories of truth
that holds the flimsy fabric together.

Meshed in its core is the integrity of humanity
that glues the pieces together.

Presented on its surface is the hope
that gives it strength,

to overcome all:
   our shortfalls
    our shortfalls
     our shortfalls
      our shortfalls
       our shortfalls
that destroy us.

So that we may keep rebuilding
through

paper-thin constructs.
