Out from under
the burden of proof
Changing the argument
— freeing the truth

…..

Saying it shorter
staying intact
Words more empowered
— tightening the slack

…..

Writing … the cake
Reading … the icing
Licking the spoon
— crumbs of delight

…..

Leaders made
not born
when so inclined

To rise
or fall
— with choice defined

…..

Freedom and consciousness
answers implied
Unknown to the masses
whose questions have died

Freedom and consciousness
trysting aware
Betrothing each other
— to wed in what’s shared
