With gestures and with words,
He tried to convey his thoughts.
But the people he spoke with,
Looked penetratingly at the light on his skin.

Universal ideas, as long as they exist, we exist. These exist in every language. When universally “acceptable” ideas are despised and ridiculed, we threaten our own existence. Pre-supposing where those ideas could come from limits us, blinds us, and makes us deaf. Somehow, it has no effect on the power of speech. It rather makes for a stubborn heart, and a venomous tongue. All hearts and tongues, Almighty God will judge in due time.
