Have No Fear

2/17/11

Midnight

Apt 2

 Have no fear

Today the stars

Have gone

Weightless energy

Lie in wait

No fire to blaze

No sight to blind

Bare shadows

Met you at the gate

With wary hands

You grasped the unknown

Timid steps

Trekked trail alone

Close your eyes

For you can only see

Unsighted reality

Of what it ought to be

    

The Whistle-blower

Apt. 2

 The Whistle-blower

They brought her in.

A nameless lass from lowly beginnings,

A minion to the powerful,

A morsel of banality.

Yet today her voice resonates,

Roaring its echoes,

Proliferating through the hierarchy.

The unlikely yet

Most unassailable whistle blower

Struck words like arrowheads

Thrown in all directions

As if in primitive savagery.

A declaration of disgrace

Besmirching illustrious reputations.

As she torches the light in the dark tunnel of deceit

Let it be told

That and untold truth may impair no one

But falseness is death to one’s essence.
