revelatory

 

Secrets are secret

Truth cannot expound

Everything is vanity

No comfort to be found

 

Truth is relative

or so it is, they say

Life for us is short

no time to dry the hay

 

What Truth will illumine

Lies would then conceal

with ebony tusks uncover

wounds that would not heal

Good to hear something worth

Good to hear something worth fighting for. Thank you so much, Starward-Led. I hope the "hymn of exiles" is not too long a read. It also has birthed an alternate second half.
