Commoner Conscience (Assume, Project, Repel)

Assume, project, repel,  
Was the common  
Mindset of oblivion that  
Made the subconscious so  
Accountable for consequence,  
Subliminally, as the actor  
Tried his hand at  
The surface of perception, where  
His thoughts, words, and actions  
Weren't true, lest his hypocrisy.  
 
Shallow assertions, opinions, and  
Misjudgments quickly became his  
Role in discernment, as  
Simplicity in practical wisdom  
Went by the wayside when he  
Spoke disobediently, like  
The blind leading the blind to  
The slaughter in  
Exchanging formality of  
Complex relation, basic communication.  
 
That covetous excitement  
Escaped without  
Consideration for others, as  
He played down accreditation,  
And read between the lines to  
Himself, seizing all merit to  
Become a repeat offender, as  
Principality was to belong in  
Such degenerate, juvenile, immature  
Delinquency of expression.  
 
If there were a score, he'd  
Be the highest, by his  
Own wishes, as  
Winning hearts was a  
Cloak and endeavor, when  
Allusion, trickery, deviltry,  
From various emotional  
Fallacies, fantasized along with  
Him in arrogance, haughtiness, and  
Lies, finally sufficed.  
 
For a moment, he'd  
Pause and consider the  
Enigma of humility when  
He felt as though he  
Was seen from the shadows, but  
Hiding underneath it all,  
He couldn't decipher his  
Own vainglory, cadence,  
Cry for innocence, even  
In self, though sequence.  
 
With a bit of irony,  
If only he could  
See the vicariousness in  
Guilt, shame, embarrassment,  
His calloused, numb  
Philosophies  
Guided him to  
Be a foreign aesthetic, as  
Well as a formidable foe to  
Poetic justice.  
 
Pointing fingers in  
Innuendos of parables and  
Misconstrued context,  
The one-sided jester  
Forfeited the dimension to  
Balance the equation, and  
Conceptual dualities, as  
This side of him  
Consumed with fire unto death.  
 
Saturated insanity,  
Selling self-sustained  
Pride, would ultimately be the  
Untimely disillusionment  
To the protagonist, as  
Five decades couldn't  
Be undone in repentance,  
Given the chance to  
Be saved along with  
Other potential to think differently.  
 
He was remembered as  
Who he wasn't, like  
The plastic identity of  
His driver's license could  
Serve as a eulogy for  
His persona to  
Pass in a bar as truth, as  
He could never  
Admit he was wrong in  
His intoxication.  
 
 
 
 
 
Bonus: A little fun with alliteration.  
 
Braggadocio broadcast  
Borrowed bellowing beliefs by  
Breathing belly bosom banter,  
Bartering balance, belated,  
Blending barons, barely  
Blessing-bound, bidden,  
Belonged blaspheme bonded,  
Berating bigotry bouts,  
Begging bastard bashfulness,  
Branded.
