Brilliance, passion, doubt and terror <br />are what made Michelangelo divine, <br />yet he concealed his every error <br />by hiding drafts of each design, <br />instructing that his drawings all <br />be burned in bonfires, so that visitors <br />could never see behind the wall <br />that he’d constructed. Grand Inquisitors <br />were not as secretive as he <br />when burning Jews upon the stake, <br />preventing spirits that were free <br />from making an alleged mistake. <br />Some drawing have survived, like Jews <br />who also were not burned alive, <br />despite the effort to abuse <br />free spirit, which will always thrive <br />despite attempts made to suppress <br />the evidence their visions’ glitches, <br />which though imperfect should impress <br />all men who scratch creative itches. <br /> <br />3/29/06<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brilliance-passio-doubt-and-terror/
