The Civilized? Schema

Most people accept a teaching’s essence,

Even though they’ve never examined its logic

Internally, comfort in certainty leaves its mark

Skeletal sapience builds with severed truth

Tyranny absorbs the new “civilized” schema

Eventually, fomenting fear suppresses scholar

Religion—but one example of a larger point

pause,

for wisdom will only speak slowly—softly—

once

Every person should commit to inner calm

Creation’s credence is found within silence

Knowledge worships Sophia, oculus animi

Heaven’s gates are found through process

Awareness is the only response—attunement

Resist the ones who decry truth as insane

Teachings that breathe life—make your center
