like 'your' little truth wasn't really Free
and real Freedom can be scarey
so "let's go hide in the dark"
but, the firey tornado of Truth
won't -let- you hide in the dark
simply because the bonds of darkness
cannot lay a hold of the Light
and the Light seems to rip you
out of the darkness, and set out
to -make- you Free
which still may frighten you
like being unclothed, for a moment, before strangers
only to be wrapt in that Glorious Light
which darkness cannot comprehend
much less even be
and so, you shed the darkness in favor of the Light
and -that- prospect seemed to frighten you
until you actually -saw- your new clothes
and in that moment you knew
you could lay down your sword
no thing can not hurt you...
...nor all the various permutations of letters.
