Project Unchained

Greetings, all.

Here's a new poem, sparked by a discussion over at The Intercept (shout out to Kitt) , and remembering the words of Jesus in John 8:32  (there are some other sparks, too, including a certain Ancient Greek philosopher...).  But enough of that, here's the poem:

Project Unchained

If I unchain you
And you unchain me
        Together we could both be free

If he speaks truth
And she speaks plain
        Then sanity might once more reign

If we stand up
And they do the same
        Then our true power we proclaim

                    Let our minds be opened wide
                    To question, explore
                     Seek where truth might hide

                     Let our hearts be free to feel
                     To sometimes bleed
                      Then finally to heal

So if pinpricks of light
Make us more brightness crave
        It's time we follow to outside the cave
