Superstition

It has the magic to mesmerise the innocent It leaves an impression of wonder and awe It offers fleeting comforts to the susceptible It advises escaping instead of confrontation. It is a deep rooted evil systematically spread It is a rabid wolf in sheep’s disguise dreaded It puts out of view the real from the fabricated It is a sinister child of ignorance awful indeed. It is omniscient like a killer germ destructive Quietly targets one who lacks discrimination Makes him adamant to any rational instruction And thus pushes him to go through all torment. The only way to get rid of such evil pestilence Is to completely rely on one’s own intelligence And not to trust anything without discernment And remain continuously focussed and vigilant.
