Dogma

John Prophet

Dogma.
Truth.
Someone’s
truth.
Dogma.
Authority
laid heavy.
Being
told what
to do.
What
to believe.
Being told
what,
how to
think.
Dogma,
power.
Control.
Control
over all.
The few,
the clueless
few
heavy handed
pressed on
the many.
Dogma,
human dogma.
Useless.
The blind
leading
the blind.
Human truth
a fluid thing.
Easily
manipulated.
Trick of
control.
Not worth
much.
Dogma,
human dogma
merely a
parlor game.
Smoke and
mirrors.
Trick of
convenience
control.
Best
to be
ignored.

    it always made me wonder:
    to the dogmatic - fanatic
    who, do they assume
    inked their dogma's, texts?
    or at the very least
    interpreted - it, as legible
    to mere mortals,
    was it not, other
    fallible humans, just like us...?
    ergo - why so adamant
    that your dogma, is faultless
    by what logic
    did you end-up
    at that, conveniently warped: conclusion...!
    (a timely write
    although, when reading history's pages
    your words, would read
    as being timely, at anytime
    in humanity's history)
