Secret People (1951)
For the 1951 Britflick Movie Secret People
Audrey Hepburn’s 1st English Speaking Role
a movie about anarchism
The cause
we all have “the cause”
the fight for stay up at night for cause
the believe in redeem ourselves in cause
remembering how we let some words be said because cause
because the time wasn’t right or we needed the job or
because this was a friend or relative or lover or
because taking a stand even in a conversation
meant a cost more than we could spend
because-
Then there are others of us
who always know, always know
and never have questions, never have questions
I used to desire to be them
to always be sure to always be to always
whether it was Marx or a religion
or a College or any other belief system
or any damn cause that you always knew was right-
Then there are the few rare diamond times
when you do know you are right
despite all the world
with all their worlds
and all their words
speaking eloquently and confidently
to the contrary
