Crossroads

I will tell you a story 

That in itself is irrelevant

Truthfully fictitious with obscure facts

Forming misinformed opinions 

Entirely bereft of objectivity 

Listen with your eyes open and ears closed

Oh, I mean eyes closed and ears open 

Utter the assertion that of which you've not heard 

Speak the tale that of which you've not seen

May this anecdote shutter your disbelief 

Get lost in the abundance of anticipation 

Ill equipped to handle truth, run as it approaches 

Clutching at the markinations of ambiguity 

Appease with opinions informed by beliefs 

Unlike beliefs informed by opinions

Listen closely, regardless 

The story in itself is irrelevant.
