Doublethink Beliefs

Oppressed and forced
Religion never fed my soul
Hammering out the dents
That made me unique

Shiny scriptures to justify 
The genocide of the “unclean”
Savages stripped of their identity
Found laid to rest in forgotten graves

Religion never fed my soul
But 
It opened my eyes to the universe

What lessons will I master
In my next cycle?
Be kinder? 
Be ruthless?

Whoever pulls the strings
I trust their judgement
A feather on the air

~ ~ ~
Life flows out of me
I watch as the seeds I 
Given birth to
Beaming with pride
Of whom they will become
