"They of whom the world was not worthy Wandered in deserts" Because believing meant that they were standing up. Standing alone. Because those around them chose to close their ears Favoring silence for truth "if 15 million do how can it be wrong." And they saw the flaw in that design So they took it and thought on the ways Counted them like sheep how they could hide the lies. So they favored comfort for truth A happy lie for a sad reality An easily cured, temporary illness And when those who saw through spoke out They were shot down, or cast away Under the pretense of safety, Of security. Made to wander deserts because they favored freedom for lies.

"They of whom the world was not worthy Wandered in deserts" Because believing meant that they were standing up. Standing alone. Because those around them chose to close their ears Favoring silence for truth "if 15 million do how can it be wrong." And they saw the flaw in that design So they took it and thought on the ways Counted them like sheep how they could hide the lies. So they favored comfort for truth A happy lie for a sad reality An easily cured, temporary illness And when those who saw through spoke out They were shot down, or cast away Under the pretense of safety, Of security. Made to wander deserts because they favored freedom for lies.
based off of a talk given by Jeffery .R. Holland in the 2014 LDS General Conference.
