Analysis of Deified And Reified



It's not "true" until it's claimed
and then it's reified
It's not "who" until it's named
and then it's deified

It's not "might" until it's moved
and then it's reified
It's not "right" until it's proved
and then it's deified

It's not "cheer" until it's used
and then it's reified
It's not "clear" until it's mused
and then it's deified

It's not "guilt" until it's known
and then it's reified
It's not "built" until it's shown
and then it's deified

It's not "past" until it's fenced
and then it's reified
It's not "vast" until it's sensed
and then it's deified

It's not "just" until it's pleased
and then it's reified
It's not "trust" until it's seized
and then it's deified
