Locked down
In excruciating
Exile
The voice
Once intended
To
Herald
Universal & divine
Truth
Denigrated & choked
Into silence
Left
Anguishing
In a
Subterranean hell
Where
Slowly & insidiously
The grips
Of
Insanity
Clamber
To
Ease the echoed
Scream
Of
The unheard lament
Is the die
Cast?
The outcome
Inevitable?
Consider
This possibility...
As it has
Been
Through
The annals
of time
A unlikely
Protagonist
Embarks
On a journey
That he (or she)
Believes themselves
To be
Completely
Unqualified
To undertake
The intrepid
traveller
Becomes an
Archaeologist of sorts
Following
The guidance
of
Gossamer direction
Which
In an instant
First appears
As though
Cast iron
and
Then seemingly
Vanishes
Along
The way
Are met
"The judge"
"Jury"
&
"Executioner"
As well
The architect
Of
What was
Thought
To be
An inescapable
Prison
All
Presented
While
The traveller
Leaned
over the banks
Of
Crystal clear
Stream
And saw
The
Truth
Of themselves
For the
First time
Insight
Is gained
Still
Liberty
Is not assured
The
Prison
Will remain
As formidable
As ever
There is no
Known
Magic, army, or device
That can breach
It's walls
Except
The consistent
And
Direct
Application
of
The one
&
Only
Key
Which
Comes
In the form
Of
The voice
of
The prisoner
Themselves!!
