Repressing Humanity

Fire burning brightly

Smelling like heat

Its blaze burning through the mind

The pages fluttering helplessly

Wailing of pain and grief

Knowledge, now beyond our grasp

Once was at our fingertips

Now ignorance maintains

Minds following this path

As sheep, herded into a fence

Locked away forever more

Intelligence is chained

Its glory now extinct called unfavorable

By society and its ways

In a box hidden away

Until its great rise someday again
