Heather OC: Week 6 of 208

Our Holy and Obsolete Symbols I

(From M.A.’s “Eulogy for the Giant Tortoises”)

With someone so suboptimal in charge -

Taking a feller buncher

To everything that matters - you

Recall the schoolyard bully,

Holding all under his hideous

Gaze as the teacher looked away.

One cannot make the false

True just by claiming it enough.

Except in minds who lack

Wisdom to recognize wrong.
