602. Dear Humanity

Even if no one ever believes,

At least I’ve spoken the truth.

For evil eternally deceives,

To dwell just beyond what mind perceives…

As reality.

And even if I’m still tossed aside,

My spirit will be at peace.

For I’ll no longer be forced to hide,

And forever, in darkness reside…

As your prisoner.

597. Free Speech

Pushed aside, out of cultural view,

Far too many ways to be ostracized.

Redemption and truth, null and void,

And harshly criticized.

I’ll say no more than this on free speech:

That darkness thrives in the shadows of night,

And the only end for darkness,

Is exposure to Light.
