527. God, Reality, Truth. by Ronnie Patel published on 2022-06-24T21:30:26Z Confounded by the illusions of God, Reality and Truth mankind is torn away from innocence and freedom at its own peril. 527. God, Reality, Truth God, Reality, Truth -- abstractions of the mind, Each more elusive as more its pursuit we find, Like catching shadows that exist not but in the Play of light, where by all shadows we are consumed And worship is born with priests and pontiffs that fume; Shibboleths, fears, beliefs and mantras resound Within the whitewashed walls of indoctrination, Confound ourselves with orthodoxies and disdain, And in process, find fears infused in our own worth: Innocence and freedom— our absolute right of birth!
