Conflict is too intimate for strangers

our beliefs are too deeply personal
when most of our close relationships
don't understand us
from our stories to our dreams

our sacred beliefs cannot be understood by the wide world
when a single differing individual personality is going to understand a single word in opposite toboir intent

the wide world will treat you with disdain
because you are one of many who disagree

you do not know them
they do not know you

facts have become only arrows
of opportunity
without selfless purpose to guide them

Right: is a sacred beauty to you

that only a few close hearts will comprehend

Everyone else will be tyrants of misplaced facts.
