I am an idea
Born in the mind of a suffering man
Passed on by voice as the story began
Filling the Earth through millennial span.
I am a hazel twig
More power in your hand than the mightiest sword
Divining the facts from the evidence stored
A weapon revealed by the turn of a word.
I am a lightning rod
Feet planted in earth and head in the sky
Roaring defiance at the storm passing by
Strike as you like for I cannot die!
