Revelations are quite the mystery
A moment before you were in the darkness
But now, something new has a dawned.

a thought which once before,
You were unaware.

Does this mean it was not there?

For knowing it have you invented it?

Or are you now, just a part of the clever collective,
of those who hold such thoughts?

And this is where vanity takes hold.

See not that information
see not that knowledge

as something you have realized
upon your own minds intelligence.

But rather a simple realization
of something which has always been.
but before you had not ears to hear
nor eyes to see.

From the time you were born
life has been filled
with subtle revelations.

Let them not get to your head in old age.
