Hidden in the Judean desert <br />Two thousand years out of sight <br />Secret teachings and wisdom <br />Origins of Western civilization <br />Christianity older than Christ <br />Rediscovered when Israel was reborn <br />Again hidden for another forty years <br />Hidden by powers and authorities <br />Keep the little people quiet <br />Hide the truth in myth and lies <br />The Dead Sea Scrolls buried again <br />In institutions and ivory towers <br />The real history unedited and uncensored <br />Threatening old ways and old ideas <br />Churches and priesthoods could fall <br />Hide the scrolls in obscure academia <br />Their true contents will change everything <br />What we were taught was not what was <br />The scrolls must be hidden again they say <br />The truth can't be hidden again I say<br /><br />Alan Snow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hidden-scrolls/
