Truth Under Siege
The work began before this land found itself under siege The Pythagorans had for years made plans to unwrite Democracy Preparations were made, the program laid, the foundation of the Resurrection Council. Recreating the Masters and establishing The Pillars to raise the rafters of the New Academy, usher in The return of the teachers who yearn to create the Grand Republic Set up the schools and the camps to produce the students Who will grow into the proffered New Guardians Teach them Mathematics and Gym, Philosophy and Science Delete the Poetry and Tragedy; purge the Literature completely Take up arms in defense of their fledgling government That will rise from the ashes of these books Do away with the old Democratic modes Whose Freedom runs too freely in these streets By The People who've overstepped their obligations to live Their lives for the Better Good. The truth is under siege In this Land of Liberty and must be culled for the New Prosperity.
