Visionary idealists inspired us in the past,
Now the world has done them wrong.
Cynics laughed at Stukeley – Lockyer got mocked;
Then they persecuted Tom.

Have you even heard of T. C. Lethbridge?
Have you seen his books in any mall?
You’d be enthralled at his methodology,
While ‘scholars’ sit indoors going; “Ha ha ha ha ha!”.

We are forward thinking motherfuckers,
We are true to everything you are.
Though sometimes you were wrong.
Your methodology – so thorough and so practical,
Votes so very tactical – they wrote you off as radical!

“No spoken or written word can ever be a substitute for one’s own practical experience. No one too can convince another who does not wish to believe what he is told. Only the doubter loses by his incredulity.” T. C. Lethbridge ‘Ghost & Ghoul’ Chapter 1, p.26

We are true to everything you are.
