The Man Without a Name

Deep within the chasm,
Lives the man without a name -
He's come to represent
The secrets hidden in -
And so we, do we castigate
Those things not understood,
In culture and in worship,
In ideals and shades of skin

This society

Is it not hypocrisy
To cast as demons, if but only for
Subjective sin and character
Unlike our own -
If only I could exorcise
My coded prejudice, my DNA,
And pave a plane of equity
For our homogenous affinity -
And I would be the first
To grasp your outstretched hand, my friend,
To seal the man without a name -
To heal the man within.

*New for this week! Peace in society.

A wonderful expression in time for the season. I especially liked:

If only I could exorcise
My coded prejudice, my DNA,
And pave a plane of equity
For our homogenous affinity -

I guess you have something there, Cav. It just falls out of my normal meticulous psychometrics. Kinda makes me uncomfortable, if you know what I mean. Hey, if I can swing a trip up to your wonderful restaraunt during my homeleave, would you mind? I would love to meet you and experience your own art first hand.
