Perspective
A closed blade
hides behind
Information and
keys,
Like power
hiding behind
Wise men and
guards,
Or knights
awaiting orders
From the
intellects and affluentials.
Perhaps the
items reflect an assassin
Targeting the informed
and the informer.
But what if
we’re looking at it wrong?
What if the
order is different
And the keys
are behind
The knife and
the knowledge,
Implying that
if we want to open doors
We must first
have power and intelligence,
Or if treasure
is to be unlocked
Geniuses and
brutes must together lead.
Yet we can
Rotate this
again
So that
knowledge is guarded
By the keys and
the knife,
Implying that
secrets are only found
At the cost of
bloodshed,
Or the truth
resides
In both the
lowly guards and the noble knights.
See how a
slight shift
Alters one’s
perspective?
It’s like
someone told me long ago,
“Just because
it makes sense,
Doesn’t mean
it’s right.”
