In Iambic Octameter

originally published 5/7/11

Embrace ye not the deceivers

And pay the liar no homage;

Tear off the linsey-woolsey suits

Of the sheep’s clothing worn by wolves.

Milquetoasts take warmth and soft comfort

In lives of quick and sure safety;

But heroes do not hesitate

To pay Freedom's steep, hoary price.

Friends, citizens and countrymen,

The moment of truth approaches:

On that day's dark, awful dawning,

Which way do you think you will choose?

the 2008 ad campaign

The definition of SCION

• a detached living portion of a plant (as a bud or a shoot) joined aerially to a graft
• aristocratic descendent
• scion of a railroad empire

Merely some fractured fairy tale?

Or could it mean something much more?

See for yourselves, and then discern.

They always go green in the end.
