My blog, where I store those thoughts rattling around my brain

Restrictions: None
Tried Express It In Eight!
Era of Unenlightenment

Mere murmurs of another age,
ripple through unconscious thought.
Echoes fading reset the stage -
well-known plays the world forgot.
Clear eyes might choose to remain blind,
rights surrendered during war,
captives within imprisoned mind:
victims of rewritten lore.

When empathy fails and reason is lost,
Then shrewd malice refines our bitter cost.
