I am not the facts
not the policies
I’m neither expert nor example
I’m not the doer of deeds
be they great or small
I am instead the argument
I stand outside all creeds
I speak by doing nothing
to embroil me in the world’s endeavors
to sort out who’s in charge
or who is wrong or who is right
or who is godly and who is not
or even posit whatever godly means
I am nothing that anybody really needs
because I have chosen not to serve
And yet I’m anybody’s champion
full of time, full of space, full of understanding
I am the argument, pure and simple
The Bard of Appanoose
