I See

I See

A Poem by The Last Philospher
"

A tragedy repeated throughout history. A curse that continues to this day.

"
I see!
I see!
What one day can become!
I see the potential!
And what is yet to be done.

I see the direction
And what stands in the way!
I see the one path
To a brighter day!

I look and scout around.
It's not to bright for my eyes.
Come on follow me,
And look at what I found!

Our wings are not wax!
The cave is not sealed!
Come on open your eyes!
I swear it is real!

Now hold on a moment-
Please relax!
What did I do wrong?
Please put down that axe!

Please just listen,
It wasn't a lie!
Put the torches down!
I don't want to die...

,,,

From a ladder I was pushed-
And in that tree I hung-
But it was the betrayal-
which really stung-

I see...
I see now
What had happened to me
Hah! I see...
That perhaps what I saw...
Was never meant to be.
