The Test

We have hidden the truth
from you
hidden it from
your narrowed 
view

that's gone too fucking far 
askew

because wisdom is a gift
earned
through penance
and pride

You, once noble member
of our
tribe

turned most unwitted 
participant
of our test

And no...
ya won't be gettin'
any rest

For now 
your life is ours
we... the dark
between the stars

For we encompass all
yet are never seen
we... the silent seam
tucked behind
the gleam

Tick tock
for your time has come
to make 
amends
and finally make friends

with the love 
that attends.
