a truth of Autistic pattern recognition in Bardic Prose
There are times when a whisper speaks louder than a shout.
When patterns, once studied in silence, begin to reemerge—draped not just in history’s robes, but in modern threads sewn with old intentions.
Some of us saw it before the gilding began.
Not because we are prophetic, but because we pay attention.
And we remember.
So we speak—softly, artfully, deliberately.
For there are things that cannot be said plainly in times like these.
But oh, they can be sung.
1.
Hear ye, hear ye, gather ‘round the square—
The chandeliers are swinging in the People’s House.
Not for the weary, nor the working poor,
But for the self-crowned sovereign who worships mirrors more than men.
Gilt upon marble, rugs thick as silence,
All to remind you who he thinks this palace is for.
2.
Do you see it now? The halls of Versailles reborn,
Not in France but in the Republic’s heart—
A borrowed stage, lined in gold leaf and grievance,
Where once stood Lincoln’s gaze, now hangs gilded gaudiness.
The People’s House, rented like a ballroom,
Draped in delusion and debt.
3.
This is not mere decor—it is declaration.
A sunbeam, placed just so, to strike the forehead of the chosen tyrant.
Oaths made not on books but on branding.
A golden toilet flushes louder than a nation’s cry.
He does not reign, but he postures,
Louie reborn with hashtags and helicopters.
4.
We the people built this house—
Brick by brick, and lash by lash.
Some gave labor, others gave lineage,
All gave blood in some form or another.
And now? Now it becomes a shrine to the self,
A throne room for a renter with a god complex.
5.
Let history remember:
Versailles was once a hunting lodge—
Simple, until ego demanded stagecraft.
And so too, the White House: meant for humble service,
Now cloaked in curtains that hide the hollow behind the crown.
Not king, not god, not even good host.
6.
We’ve seen this pageant before.
Bards remember. Historians remember.
Autistic minds that pattern-seek and whisper “This has happened before…”—
We remember.
The Sun King built mirrors to trap light.
This one builds news cycles and mirrored sunglasses to trap attention.
7.
So we cry aloud with caution and candlelight,
Not in fear, but in fierce remembrance:
The People’s House is not Versailles.
It does not belong to gold, or ego, or any one man.
It belongs to us,
And it will outlast the masquerade.
8.
Let no gilded drapery blind thee, nor anthem drown the truth.
A house built by many cannot be ruled by one.
The stage may shift, the actors change,
But the script—if we hold it fast—remains ours to pen.
Remember the past, guard the present, shape the next.
Let sunlight return not to a single throne,
But to every window.
