Deceit
     A deception for the masses
     Wool for eyes miles wide
Left wondering what was true
What must be done to undo

Revised
     A book written twice for you
     History carefully scripted
Cannot recover what is so buried
Or the damning truth so carried

Heresy
     With poor guidance married
     To enforce the fantasy
Turned from sin to law
Guarded with fang and claw

Subvert
     Let the savage kneel in awe
     Show their gods as wooden idols
Enfolded into the accepted faith
Made into another wraith

I seem to be a bit dull today - but I don't understand this. The poem starts out sounding universally applicable, and then in the final two stanzas seems to go Game of Thrones or Thor or something I have not read/seen. What's odd is that the first two stanzas reminded me of the Wool series - have you read that? I'm missing the point, and because I do like your work so much normally it is bothering me to miss the point. I know there is a point. Tell me what it is.
