Poem Title:
Poem
I cannot presume to know the motives of those outside my own heart And counted are the moments that I realize my very own But I do know that human nature is irrevocably raw at its core, And this acknowledged by its Designer Is a necessary balance weighing the uncompromising laws of love Some despair at this unyielding hard truth Or so flee from its cold reality altogether Choosing to close their eyes and cover their ears 'Til light turns to dark and the music of their souls is silenced. Mocking those who take each breath in hope and song- Tossing them aside as fools and madmen. But what madman will rejoice when goodness prevails And who believes a fool to comprehend divinity? And yet, this is of no matter to the believers of the unreal Felt though not touched, always alive even unto death, Never to be captured, for what of faith then? Why? Why would they? Why would you? Why would I? You ask, as if you do not know... The courageous, genius, famous, powerful, royal, revered The cowardly, ignorant, obscure, weak, common, rejected None are immune ALL relentlessly intent to self-deceive Through an invisible pane of glass and viewed through the warped mirror of "Science" This- the carefully crafted frame from which the enemy's portrait laughs Why, you ask? You know why... But do not dare, can not bear, to believe Conquerors Earth and element The moon and beyond War and oppression Masters of nature Art, innovation, philosophy, exploration, invention Conquerors of all but the TRUTH The conquerors become coverers... Smothering, twisting, reshaping, redesigning, reinventing And denying TRUTH with imitations, poor reflections, and even carefully crafted illusions From conquerors to coverers Children with their heads in the sand Sands of gold... fools gold. Unless, you've dared to pull your head from the sand Dared to stand, dared to look up And let the golden grains fall away one by one Until you're naked, worthless, unwanted, unloved Like a newborn left to die in the trash of the cold alley called "truth" No longer the conqueror, but the conquered. NOW you are where you can be found Rescued, Saved, Redeemed, Covered in TRUTH Freed in LOVE
