A Transcendental Odyssey

Book Cover & Preview Text
"Insipid Jargon” By: Stetson The cliché remarks of every day, Paint the world in total gray. Overwhelm brilliance with banality, In the timeless struggle for tranquility, Hypocrisy becomes an unchallenged law, And ingenuousness is a tragic flaw. Honor and bravery are long neglected; The era in which ipseity is corrected. An aftermath of a dreary platitude, Patterned out in lines of latitude, Predictable in use and meaning, Manifestations should incite immediate gleaning. To refine the metal that tips the arrow, With emotive words only meant to harrow, Pierce the mind to keep its thoughts neoteric. Mystery within the words is purposefully esoteric.
