Except for the pure

Monk - Perhaps the unsure need a light that the pure already have. That's a poser Monk. Nicely done. Namyh

How can there be an exception to 'none'?  It seems pretty black and white to me - either no one is sure OR the pure are sure (in which case, you can't say that "none" are sure).  Is this the point?  Or is there a point?  Maybe none are sure except the obscure.

Alison fades into obscure purity

Yo Monk Frost I!,

What is "pure"?  So who's pure?  How does one become pure?  I think I remember being something like "pure".

I don't think I've been pure since the age of 4......Or was that 7?

I'm not sure....


Oh! Now I remember. It was some sort of yoke....(chuckle)

Is this poem perhaps a euphemism for embracing dogmatic truths and received wisdom to shield oneself from the myriad uncertainties and perils of the real world?

If it is then I am going to die laughing.

If not then I am deeply sorry for my misinterpretation. Although I cannot read any other meaning into this.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.
