it became a way of life

though it was nothing really but an extravagant abstraction of the obsessed intellectuals

fanatical as they are in their pursuit- and for so long, they caused so much chasm and destruction- in the only place i call home.

conviction in its fulfillment is the appearance they are showing. the completion of their escapade is paramaount.

taking off of the mask is as costly as the chase. so they won't. they cannot be more adamant in saving their faces. mirage is of greater import. and that is what the world will see.

convinced in their delusion, the quest for verity was demoted to farce.

and so the pursuit became their way of life. THE CHALLENGE. their raison d'etre. their pride. their conceit.

could it be?
