Fawning Paying Tribute To a Human

He sees things others could never see even when partially opened So what should they do? Lock him up or worship him? Some do one, others do the other. After he is locked up, and away the followers give up, and slide away into the sea of status quo. Then a new visionary appears, and the followers follow her. Enthusiasm pouring out their pours, sliding down their chins They stand in a pool of admiration Fawning, paying great tribute until they find out that she is also human. Then they disappear like fireflies in the morning. The diehards may go to a third, fourth, sixth, eighth person But others will return to their childhood ways. If they had seen the shadow people they can either believe in their own eyes or allow society to negate their truth. Freedom of choice. What a quandary. What a world! Insanity a sliver from brilliant.
