Knowledge dawns upon me,
As the waters, eerily clear and lifeless like acid,
Recede from the shores of my mind
And dissolve away my ignorance.

I stand firm as the clearing waters reveal
A seabed of lies that once trapped and buried life beneath its surface,
Choking the ability to speak the truth.
As innocent life around me takes its last breath,
Acid burns my eyes and awakens me to new understanding,
And propaganda that once intimidated me like grand mountains
Now erode into meaningless grains of sand.

The world is clear now.
A short poem for my poetry book. Hope you like it.
