Sermons, norms, cultures The burden of expectations laid on a bare mind. Obedience and conformity are demanded, Because without them, societal dysfunction is hung around your neck. "How will our people react?" "What will the world say?" "What will the people think?" Cultural touchstones infusing the fear of freedom....... So an innocent mind is laden with cultural jargon A free soul is constrained to tread on a worn path of mediocrity. Our culture is our way of life. Seemingly innocuous, but a web ensnaring the future A facade of stability clipping the joys of the soul.
