Blinded By the Light

Hold my hand 

and we will make it through this world

of vivid colors

shadowed eyes 

and caterpillar lashes.

This world that they want 

us to join

of questioning morals

renegade artists

and wastely ways.

Stick with me 

as we start our journey

but be aware. For they are out 

to hook you with their promises 

of democracy, freedom, and bikinis. 

Keep your feet grounded and face covered

and do not expose your self.

For we will finish this passage

that our forefathers foretold. 

And we will remain golden.

— Robert P. Langdon
