"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
SoΒ 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.
