Darkness is Enlightening

I believe 

humans are slow to learn 

even as their world turns

and burns.

I believe 

fools wear bejeweled 

crowns

and

what has risen 

must needs

come down.

I believe 

many heroes of Earth

and men

turn out to house 

zero worth

within.

I have come to believe 

it's in vain

to explain the arcane

to the profane.

I believe 

we can only 

scratch the surface 

for

we latch onto

superficial purpose.

I believe 

a treasure of 

evolved solutions 

lies underneath 

layers of 

illusion.

I do believe 

it's healing

and revealing 

to explore 

Something higher 

Something deeper 

Something more.
