Dimming dimmer dim lit wits.
To have risen to positions to switch,
Off the current that provides...
That light preventing,
A complete darkening...
Into valleys of ignorance.
Believed by those,
Aging with gaslight minds...

Mistakened worth.
And misplaced faith.

Disrespect to get and received.

To blindly follow the guidance,
Of anyone who suggests...
Or recommends sabotage.
Ultimately that diminishes,
The quality and existence...

Many of us are.
To have eyes to see.
With ears to hear.

Given the opportunity,
Of receiving something to learn.
As an experience to share,
Together.

When it is seen to observe,
One has decided to choose...
The removing of their shoes.
In public to do.
With a walking away from ignorance.
This decision made,
