Ageless...
Truths tremble on a tightrope,
while concerted Complacency
watches from below;
an ageless spectacle,
as that same, stale
double bluff reverberates,
eclipsing the unsung,
only to favour the glorified,
least resisted path...

Beautifully written, and agree with Tim about the first line in particular. You never disappoint!

Thank you, John, Tim, and M.C., for kindly commenting, I truly appreciate it! 😊
Inspired opening lines.
Truths tremble on a tightrope - love this line, it declares it all.
least resisted - yes the well-worn path of complacency and undeserved self-congratulations - for a possessing a certain set of genes, for being born into a rich family, for gender, pigmentation, sexual orientation....
