T'was Once The Word
First came the Word Then came the Scribe (the first tinkerer) Who imparted His own ego To improve Conveyance of The Word And thus became A Spin-Doctor (we call such - Editors) But what good Is a Message Without Believers? So in order To sell the Message The Word became Dressed up in Layers of finery Called Ritual
That so comforted The Masses While the Word became Less and less visible Packaged and obscured Within Ceremony Thereto only The privileged Inner sanctum Interpreters Were wise enough To teach their version Of what was once Simple and pristine In hindsight Would the primeval Thought that inspired The original Word Be able to recognize Itself?
