We built a crystal fortress

With walls of clarity.

Looking out, and crying ‘evil’

Safe in sanctuary


We built a crystal prison

A cage of clarity.

We’re fixed to one perspective

Unless we hammer free


To leave a crystal fortress

to volunteer for doubt

To dare ourselves examine

Ourselves, within, without


We leave a crystal prison

And while sacrificing ease,

We sacrifice false certainty

And live free of fear’s disease.
