• What’s truth that
    Seeps oblivion?
    We listen to passionate
    Sermons to sooth
    Our troubled hearts
    To quell our anxious spirit
    We read ancient books
    Full of deep holes
    Devoid of answers
    We ignore them
    And pray with veils
    Over our eyes
    Fed sermons, warnings,
    Commandments and rituals
    We blindly kneel on command
    And surrender our devotions
    To Him, Her, Them, It
    Dutifully, devoutly, obediently
    We sink in deep holes
    Where no light can reach
    And turn our ears
    Away from strange words
    We sneer at gentiles
    Who believe otherwise
    Some climb out of the sinkhole
    And explore the boundaries
    But others sink deeper
    Dutifully following their blind faith
