Who dared to dwell where dreams reside,
where visions may be clarified.
What dreams were dreamt were shed and swept,
their dreamers stripped of all respect.
We cowards cowed, our secrets kept,
our preachers preached to no effect.
We played their words and on we lied,
for feared our lot if clarified.
As liars lied and on we crept
outside the dream where truths defect.
Absconded to the darker side
where nothing's ever clarified.
Our leaders led as rules expect,
it mattered not, the rules inept.
’Twas easier, the deal, abide,
for what might be if clarified?
So, dealt the deal, let time correct,
whatever faults, we would reject.
The truth from which, from whence denied,
of facts when they're not clarified.
When judges judged where found neglect,
where greased the bribe, they would accept.
To benefit when truth’s defied
and buried that, which clarified.
Gave leave to leave what lies protect,
to wait, to see, to what effect.
And until then, we would decide,
what was and wasn’t clarified.
Who dared to dwell where dreams reside,
by light awoke and testified.
No quarter gave where lies had wrecked
and found the truth, to resurrect.
Who stood to stand their ground, erect,
and we like cowards bowed and wept.
In lies to wait, came dreams astride
their mounts of truth and justified.
