Righteous rebels
devouring fast food for knowledge
Forming systematic methods
of slow suicides
by reading headlines as speeches
by reading speeches as laws
The excitement of a person
also reveals their insecurities
hidden behind their energies
that dismiss the calm of their voice
The louder the sound
the fickle the idea behind the thought
No methods to their madness
Invisible rules
cloaked by empty confidence
They don’t know the game they play
No methods
Only in madness they lay
Smoke words every day.

You have lots of great imagery in your verse. ‘The excitement of a person
also reveals their insecurities’ I’m not sure I see these lines he same light as you do. Well done.

It paints a pretty pathetic picture, doesn’t it?

The pictures are pathetic sometimes. If we accept they are pathetic , at least we can start getting it close to a pretty one. 🙂

Doubts lead to some fleeting breakthroughs I hope 🤞

Sure hope so. And I’m sure that a breakthrough is seldom made in any field/subject/objective where one is completely satisfied with and sure about all aspects and explanations. Doubt/discontent/unhappiness may be the primary catalysts for change, as far as I feel. I haven’t really heard of a time when someone said “I’m completely satisfied, happy, and sure about this – so I need to change it”.
