The Dark Truth

...Academia blocks real knowledge,
  Native Peoples will attest

So many wrappings covering their lies,
  each field does then arrest

With logic and ethics pointing the way,

...What a day, I'm blown away
Watch the sun disintegrate
As I lay and contemplate
Clouds of gray accumulate

Dreamt a dream, back in the day
Keep it safely locked away

Scab-faced - face-chewer
