We and they and they and we 
Battle through the ages; 
Learning, flying, burning, lying, 
Stained glass glowing rages 

Send the word out from the tower 
We no more will take it: 
Looks and skitter, books and litter, 
Making fakers make it 

Scholars, yes, and butterlies, 
Cameras and lenses 
Always tethered to a past 
Forming present tenses 

We and they and them and us 
Mired in what we know of -- 
Tacit animosity 
We will not 

Let go of
