Aberrations
Illusions, delusions and hallucinations
distort reality as mind aberrations.
The "desert oases" are heat waves off the land:
optical illusions from "mirages" in sand.
Chromatic refraction cause skies to look blue:
spectrum color rays seem more apparent than true.
False canopied ceilings give dimensions to space:
boundary delusions of cosmology's place.
Sleight of hand in magic adroitly can deceive:
tricks with smoke and mirrors disguise what to believe.
Unfounded perceptions form in a deranged brain:
sense hallucinations are crazy or inane.
Mistaken impressions of people for hat racks
is a twisted sample the nervous system tracks.
Illusions, delusions and hallucinations
nullify rational life interpretations.
