by Mark Olynyk
in the river of ideas
flowing in the data stream
cascading in a sequence
of logical links
arriving at the principal belief
experience an exponential growth
of understanding
the objective is the future
forged by the outcome of choices
founded on reason
the primary motive anchors the system
individual followers
embrace the right of the self
and worship at the altar
of free expression
