Gnossienne
Hidden in plain sight
Root – gnostic
Keats, Debussy, Satie, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington
Devotees of Rosicrucian thought
Belief in mystical knowledge held by a privileged few
Penned our Constitution
That quasi-religious treatise
written for self-government
by the sacred Founders
was really intended just for them
but I have the audacity
to believe that those words
were written for all humanity
Written in response to June Musical Poetry Prompt on Living Poetry blog
