A Manifest Truth — a poem of culture wars
A Quadrilew of consequences
The truth has come clear,
All the lies brought to light,
And yet they still cheer
For the manifest blight.
All the lies brought to light,
A list of their sins,
All the dross their birthright,
A ruin their wins.
And yet they still cheer
For the harsh destiny;
They sneer and they jeer
At perceived enemy.
For the manifest blight
They opened the door;
Now, they have won the fight,
But they’ve lost the war.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a Canadian queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
