The Repeater Principle

The Repeater Principle

They have come from a new darkness.

Mysteries they have created

And they believe in

Having heard them

From the people that they told.

An exercise in the same old same old

Made gospel by those that claim legitimacy

By dearth of education

Preaching to the uneducated.

There they sleep in the halls

Where ducks aren’t heard

Fearing the alarms

And not their cause.

They will not be roused

For they know danger dissipates

If its existence is denied long enough.

Instead, they provide dangers

Of their own invention

Whose effects cannot find measure

And thus is the proof

That cannot be seen.

For all is a mystery

That cannot be solved

Without learning something

About themselves

And that might be

The scariest thing of all.
