On Reading About Cicero...


On Reading About Cicero
        And His Times

People largely deprecate
                 an honest
                and virtuous
                            man
                 because
His very presence
         is a reproach
To them, puts them
To shame.
        They think him
                     above
His station;
             with his nose
                           high
In the air.  Better
           to have to
           deal with
           one of
           their own 
             kind:
            easily
           bought.

             Such men
             are sought
          out
To deal with.   
   And thus, all
   Can continue
   To wallow
   Amongst the pigs
   In the sty
   In God’s eye.

And Now, On A Higher
           Turn
    Of The Spiral
       Hopefully

Congratulations are in order
                            to
       The People
       of this day
  when they meet          
An honest man, here
To save you
From yourselves.
                 You were
          just about
          to go over
    a cliff, into
             an abyss.
Instead, success
              is yours
         at last
         when
You will have recognized
        the nature -
                   the
            true
              nature -
     of yourselves
In that person;
And further, that 
    As we go one
       We go all.

 For, We Are All
        One

    in the eye
of our Creator
      Source

  just waiting
      for Us
 to recognize
       that

 for ourselves

    and get
the long wait

      over.
