Hemmed in by belief

Born into a culture,
conditioned by belief,
we pray as we are told,
deepening delusion,
from birth till we grow old.

Born into a culture,
following ritual,
we trust the holy book
but if we pause to think,
we’ll see we were mistook.

Born into a culture,
we’re habituated 
to feeling we are right 
and all others are wrong
but have we seen the light?

Born into a culture,
we just follow the herd,
asking not who we are,
as that that transcends form,
our soul’s luminous star.
