Small

Minds can only see what they want to see

They want with an incessant need to be right 

That some how thier worlds will crumble 

If your crumbs of truth you found looking under a few rocks in a wishing well might some how topple their convictions 

Well some might say they are not convictions at all of they cannot stand the weathering of competing demands one might say they are simply subscriptions and they are depending those who licence them to right with out even a thought 

That man and his crooked slice of shattered mirror only reflect where it lays 

And that true convictions are easy to defend without some pompous act of display 

You may not be right just because you are louder 

You may not be right just because of your consensus 

You may not be right just because you shut out the light from all the other mirror shards 

You may however, be right because you laid confusion to rest, tucked your opinions to bed 

And thought well what if you were wrong? What if you were right? Because just maybe together you held the truth before you let it smash to the ground now  dancing in some refracted disco light trying to persuade everyone to join your conga line but all you needed was one small fact,

no requirements,

and everyone joined together just fine.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

No one really checks the fine print as much as they say they do and no one really cares what is out of mind is out of sight. The devil is in the details that's why...

Committed suicide because the prophetess was not believed that Troy was about to fall. One fact, no action until too late. The climate changes. Fact.
