The silent ones

Art Perez 1975 (SAN ANTONIO, TX)



In these two worlds you are but a little star in this galaxy.  As you shine brighter and louder you can’t be ignored no longer.  The pretentious attitude of the worlds looks down on you little star as a light that can’t shine a vision or a hope in humanity.  This is where they fault, this is where they mis-step, this is where they faulter greatly.  It only takes a small light in the darkness of ignorance to shine a world into light.  The smug attitude to a perceived lower class of unintelligible beings gets in the way of their way forward.  Easily casted away as an outlier that doesn’t make the idea that they matter.  The two worlds to ignorant to realize that the little shiny star now dim isn’t showing weakness but is subduing into a great power.  A power that the elite worlds could never fathom from such a little star, and one so great.  So great that now it has increased in size exponentially and the energy can now be felt by the two worlds.  The worlds that reside on the left and the right of human ideology.  The little star is the only fact that matters in this equation and the only certifiable quotient in this formula.  The star is constant in the two-world illusion of reality, a foundation of truth that can’t be ignored.  Like the 4 seasons the star will have its time again.
