Sheep

sorenbarrett

Blinded by preconception

metaphysical, religion, or science

Refusing to see the paradigm's deception

On synchronicity, faith, or causation our reliance



There is no truth only what you see

What tells you which government is best

Why do you believe in authority?

what is beautiful, what's the test?



what is good and what is bad

what is right and what is wrong

When to be happy when to be sad

What is a good or bad song



who we should like and who we should hate

You think that the idea is your's

This, your ego may inflate

But no it comes through other doors



Something you saw or something you heard

a teacher a parent upon whom you depend

Someone you trust, a written word

the internet, the news, a friend



If pressed your opinion to defend or maintain

Instead of give its source

“everybody knows that” becomes your refrain

Followed by: “you should know it too, of course”

    Zamm! I feel this is directed to Christians, and possibly religion in general, as inferred by the title. But honestly you spoke some truth though. I love the way you challenged morality in this one and I like your brazen tone.

      Thank you so much for your review and comments. Yes religion but also science itself that is the religion of today.

      Often people become fixed in a way of believing because those around them share a certain view. To think outside that train of thought can become frightening for them. In the case of religions it is often child induced fear which has been instilled in them.
