Religion

Reality 

An element, a deity 

Takes me closer 

To the truth and beyond

A peace of a certain kind

That comes with a sacrifice 

Pagan origins of it demand

The life of my little lies

 

Reality 

The unbiased variety 

It doesn't hide behind

Schemes of validation 

The one and only simulation 

That we can watch unfurl

Thankfully so, we see 

A singular, in this busy world 

 

Reality 

Reachable, willing entirely 

To be one with us here

No preference, no peers

I would to anything

For its power, to take me in

Reality is a religion, free 

And I allow it to change me.
