Authority

John Prophet

Stand.

Sit.

Kneel.

Repeat.

Believe.

Believe what’s 

told.

Believe 

religion,

or eternal

life is denied.

Power control.

Institutions

of power,

control.

Government.

Religion.

The few telling 

the many 

what to

believe,

how to

believe.

What to

think,

how to

think.

Competing

conflicting 

narratives.

Fighting 

jockeying 

for authority.

Authority 

of the soul

the mind,

all being.

Stop listening.

It’s all about

control.

They know

nothing, but

stand and

say they do.

They don’t.

It’s made up!

It’s all about

power.

This is 

existence 

in the 

terrarium.

    So very true John, organise religion is a load of untruths spouted to the ignorant.
