Two Epiphanic Interjections

Id Quod Sequitur
        
Explore, discover,  and to educate, 
Innovate,  progress, and perpetuate,
Did where with what by who,
And how at when and why by you.
Here within forms the question,
There without leads to reason,
Here at last reveals the lesson,
Where withal changes season,
There we go, together, forward,
'Ere, alas, to stumble ever onward.
From the quandary to the journey,
Advancing forth from the learning,
Launching, probing and ascending,
Streaming, screaming, and transcending.

Piggyback

It was not you,
Who bore the whip,
Nor bore the plough,
Who bore the sweat.
Upon your brow.
It was not you,
Who braved the stone,
Nor braved the heat,
Who cut the stone,
Nice and neat.
No, it was not you,
Who lived here first,
With buffalo,
Nor lost your land,
Your kin in tow.
And it was not you,
Who lived in camps,
While warriors fought,
For the freedom,
Once you sought.

But it was you,
Who piggybacked,
And gathered round,
Crying foul,
From town to town.
And it was you,
Who hitched a ride,
Upon the backs,
Of generations lost,
To fuel attacks.
Oh, but it was you,
Who hopped aboard,
The freedoms gained,
The glories found,
And blood that drained.
And it was you,
Who followed then,
The sheep in line,
Your fork in hand,
For Frankenstein.
