Break the dams
and flood this valley of ignorance
Let the tides and eddies
tear at the pages of our lives
Let the books be drowned
in the rush of new light
Words that never gave hope
but in that which fades
How is it that we know so much
yet understand so little?
Damn the breaks
and close this valley of ignorance
Few people realize that man has already attained immortality; it's merely been abused, forgotten, and renamed Writing. -Brian Egan

I c wut u did thar. Very nice reversal, I like how you change the meaning using the same words. Also, I love the meaning and contrast this poem presents.
