Presenting
the past and present through filtered light
Showing
their apparent bounty or dearth of might
Far from
providing a well-rounded insight
Free to
exercise their choice of delight, spite or fright
Create a new
version, then spray and pray
Hope for some
people to sway along their way
Whether they
win or whether they lose
is determined
by the version they choose
Specially
selected with a view to cash in
Neglecting
versions that seem to be clashing
Ruthless
reactions whenever a view
Comes to the
fore in a different hue
The
believers and adherents continue to adhere
Be it out of
passion or be it out of fear
A more
complete view is looked down upon
A more
complete version frowned upon
There is often
a dagger that dangles
There is
often preparedness to strangle
There is often
a web that entangles
A head that
turns to seek a different angle
But rebel
heads continue to turn
Renegade
minds continue to learn
Pursuing the
original, seeking the pristine
Looking through
the glare of the manufactured sheen
The eternal contest
continues as time unfolds
As
happenings happen and versions are told
