Superstition

Should superstition be a religion
believing in luck either way,
don’t walk under ladders, beware of black cats
and knock on wood everyday.

Nobody tells you the rules
yet millions of people comply, 
to some it’s a way of life
but most of them don’t know why.

When changing our environment
we use interpretations,
the basic ideas are the same
just different adaptations.

I have no idea when it started
or anyone I can blame,
so whether it’s faith, fate or luck
the mystery remains the same.

All of us seem to cling onto the shadowy voice. Faith pries the fingers off the bar. So hard to let go :) Nice one, dear poet!
