Foucault

Few find similitude, if at all,

in the collective endeavour of our zeitgeist.

Few find even less, due to human nature,

upon the realisation of our differences.

But where so many have faltered,

a few persevere.

And where so many have fallen,

a few righteously marches on,

by the skin of their teeth.

Because insofar, as it happens,

history is immutable,

and yet it almost always changes,

even still,

to this day,

where all our hopes,

endeavours, and dreams,

continue to play.

If knowledge is power,

then we are constantly at war,

whereas power is power,

and the few who enable it become

the truthsmiths that hold sway

over unlettered tongues.
