Hermitage

I’ve found a nice allegorical cave
high on a lone mountaintop.
Now I sit seeking meaning
in the campfire’s flames,
while I wait for the madness to stop.

Looking down, all I see
are thunderheads dark,
roiling over the carnage below,
where ignorance rules while constructing
a loveless world bleak and stark.

The flames dance before me
with memories strong and bright, 
that can't lessen my inner chill:
I long in vain for a bright new dawn,
to dispel this endless night.

I’ve found a nice allegorical cave,
and others are finding it, too.
Our numbers are growing,
and with truth as our sword,
we shall make our vision come true.

Willful stupidity rules the day,
but ignorance’s days are numbered.
A global dystopia was imposed
through conditioned hate and greed,
while love, and intelligence slumbered.

I’ve found a nice allegorical cave,
and it is bright, and warm, and vast.
It is filled with people of great resolve,
with social plans of inclusion and love:
an Enlightenment we shall make last.

We’ve found a nice allegorical cave,
and you are welcome to join us here:
with libraries, wifi, web access for all.
We need all the help you can give
as we rebuild a world without fear.
