Say What Needs to be Said

 During time near lost, known as "Ye Olde"

Was said: "All that glitters is not gold

For they that uttered, words so bold

Languish in exile, receive shoulder cold


If every individual possesses

A unique set of fingerprints

How incredulous then

That Creation/Creator

Imagined humanity

In its entirety

Would be reduced/enslaved

By severe domestication/homogenization

Why would one insist

That only that which

Has been sourced from

Steeped narratives

Can then yield credibility

When wisdom

From yester-year

Reminds:

The emperor

That laid claim

To being clad newly

Was, butt-naked!

All is not

As it appears

Awaken from 

The doldrums of hypnosis

Surrender not

Your critical eye

Lest resigned

To be plunged

Ever more into silence

"No prophet is accepted in his hometown"

A heroes welcome eludes those that seek & speak

the truth (though by it's very nature, it must come to light)...
