“Quite simply,” she said,
“The very times when some in power
Are seeking to perplex you,
Are the times when you best make sure
That you are not at all confused.”
“For when what should be simple
Is deliberately made unclear,
And what’s logical is spun
Cheaply to cost dear,
It ought to signal your eyes
To remain widely open,
And your ears to insist on holding only
To the truth.”
She sighed and touched the blue print
Faded on her arm,
Seared like yesterday
In her heart and mind.
