IGNIS FATUUS (a delusive ideal that leads one astray)

BE free from the church and its impositions

its restrictions

contradictions

and ungodly superstitions

BE free from all dogmatic institutions

Patriarchal truths

are only partial solutions

BE free from the coat of protection

that they fashion

A one-size fit

that impedes expansion

BE free from the doctrine

that imposes separation

Brother versus brother

Nation versus nation

BE free from the teachings

that set us apart

That caters to the Ego

not to the heart

BE free from the darkness

that controls your mind

How can you see the light

if you're asleep or blind

BE free from the ‘Book’

and its static communication

A covert operation

in the ‘divine’ proclamation

BE free from hypocrisy

intolerance and vanity

The ‘ignis fatuus’ progenitor

of the world's insanity.
