"The Unlightenment" - a new work from Papa Possum.

Enjoy, or not.


--------------------


The Unlightenment
(...and the Neo-Renaissance)


The Lesson if unlearned remains,
then must all men repeat
the darkest days of serfdom toil
to idiot elite,
all Talent will be squandered and
worse into service pressed -
welcome to the unlightenment
of sunset in The West.

neo-scholastic masterminds,
fanatics of one book,
now manifesto-thump away
and claim our Rights mistook,
Self-sov'reignty as suspect and,
Natural Law as jest -
welcome to the unlightenment
of tyranny undressed.

they urge The Age of Reason shun,
become infantilized
with circuses, and bread, and
shibboleths best memorized
to rote recite when called upon
for making faith professed -
welcome to the unlightenment,
ignorance blissed and blessed.

Will you your Life surrender now
and bow to take this yoke,
accept this *faith* of guilt and sin
such masterminds invoke,
embrace this new unlightenment
of Truth and Self suppressed...
or join The Neo-Renaissance
and put this plot to rest?
