A Risen Obscurity

by Elizabeth Ann   Jan 6, 2005




Lured by complacency I’ve fathered obscurity swaying our modern indifference. And for all those who would favor darkness I’ve deigned to foster declaring to be unknown.

My disdain for a mass-limited mind disturbs my principle mystery while they’re commanding their dull religion and a din of lectures about my separation from God. Always using those primitive institutions to win me while proclaiming my values hearsay. Their infectious authority hoping by consigning my thoughts it will bring them closer to a more righteous immunity.

And after years of this forced redemption I’ve discovered indifference alone will deliver me. Though after all that I remain unknown, I'm suddenly vacant.
