Unseeking Seeker Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Doublethink Beliefs

Narrow belief systems,
speak of a wrathful God,
who will burn us in hell
if we question scriptures
or ring not temple’s bell.

Narrow belief systems,
preying on heart’s fears are
fundamentalistic;
a bundle of falsehood,
defied by the mystic.

Narrow belief systems,
warn of soul’s damnation
in case we don’t comply,
daring to so question,
what, when, who, how or why.

Narrow belief systems,
entertain not dissent,
cultivating yes-men,
who know not how to pray ~
surely, an ill-omen.

Robert James Liguori June 28, 2022 at 10:52 AM The fear of Hell... a powerful thing. Unseeking Seeker June 28, 2022 at 8:16 PM Fear is but thought, as is desire. As such, hell is but imagination but we’re powerful enough to manifest our own reality. In a state of trance, the dream seems real.
