just as clear light dawns ~ dispelling our ignorance ~ we need no mirrors

I'm a little confused by this. I would enjoy your thoughts behind this poem. Stay frosty.

Simple: Truth requires clarity. What's clearer than an old-fashioned b&w column-style galley proof? Once there is clarity, sober analysis may proceed. Today, unfortunately, a rainbow of colors imposes on clarity, demanding its day, and insisting that 'Truth is too complex.' My arse lit up with gasoline it's 'too complex!' Truth's just obscured by all that irrelevant color. Hope this helps. ~ On Fire! Ouch!
