Door No More

A White Light door
Appeared before me
I stood, unmoving
To hear what I see

The way began to fill
With darkened balls
Swirling, collecting
Particles of the fall

I wanted to lunge forward
Stop the saturation
Instead, I observed
The speedy maturation

When I questioned
I got WORD
DIVINE INSPIRATION
Is what I heard

....absolutely, ABSURD!!!

Religion and culture
Reduced pure power
To an enlightened muse
Settling for a glory shower
...in stadiums

The restraints are lifted
Humanity can have her idol
LOVE has her children
Without the pull of comfort keeping them idle

When fear has a firm grip
And TRUTH can not be endured
WISDOM must remove grace
For the hope of LOVE to administer the cure

.....this is going to hurt
