Analysis of Behind the Lights
Reluctantly the darkness has defined
what fervid lights have been hiding from us.
It has and keeps all verities confined,
and only roofs with a filtering truss
can pilot in the facts from all the fuzz.
Those in charge, who share a wicked plan,
send out the rays to blind the common man,
to bring him fears, keeping him restricted.
But shadow leaks, the dark reveals we can
have access too, to see who inflicted.
