For everything turned false,
A little more turns true.

Beware of the thought
That carries you to jail,
Where iron is the captive of the bars,
And water complains in its glass,

An open letter to the people who run "Merlin"
To Whom it May Concern:
I have been watching “Merlin” since the beginning, and have enjoyed it immensely. It’s good entertainment, with a compelling cast of characters and it is honest fun, fantasy escapism.
