Religious Fervour
Belief systems rigid:
enslavement to a cult,
offers mind some solace;
type of self-hypnosis
but of God, not a trace.
Belief systems rigid:
hymns and mantras we chant,
address but lower mind,
wherein we praise ourself,
whilst in scriptural bind.
Belief systems rigid:
makes us intolerant
to views others expound,
which we dismiss offhand,
since we ourself are bound.
Belief systems rigid:
of what avail are words,
offering not clear sight
nor surge of bliss vibrant,
that heightens heart’s delight?
