Guns, Gems and Steel
The Beauty of Unspoked Truth: a poem to my favorite book
Between two camps, a stark divide
One thrives, while the other hides
Why the contrast, one may inquire
Courage blooms in the breath of Dali's fire
Unspoken stories weave their way
Social classes formed by food and place
Silence keeps them in control and tied down
But they yearn to break free and find
Morality falters, dependence breeds
Exploitation rampant, no one heeds
Until they break free from fate's hold
Their beauty and strength remain untold
Author's note:
This is my favorite book because I agree that all nations are beautiful, even though they were once exploited simply because they were considered weak or backward. It's a shame that their beauty was muted, but we don't need almost anything to have morality scientifically - we just need to practice empathy.
