Deified And Reified
It's not "true" until it's claimed
and then it's reified
It's not "who" until it's named
and then it's deified
It's not "might" until it's moved
and then it's reified
It's not "right" until it's proved
and then it's deified
It's not "cheer" until it's used
and then it's reified
It's not "clear" until it's mused
and then it's deified
It's not "guilt" until it's known
and then it's reified
It's not "built" until it's shown
and then it's deified
It's not "past" until it's fenced
and then it's reified
It's not "vast" until it's sensed
and then it's deified
It's not "just" until it's pleased
and then it's reified
It's not "trust" until it's seized
and then it's deified
