Ens realissimum | Poem

 
Ens Realissimum
 
The most real being
As opposed to sham
Reflects confusion
About the know ability
Of stable, worn ideas.
Genuine objects 
Can be explained 
Through themselves alone
Within the world 
Of practical reliability.
Confusion is a full
And coherent description
Of what falls 
Beyond experience 
Though the embracement
Of opaque concepts
Persists in an unreal sequence.
- Mirel Brisca
