Dogma

Dogma

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Dogma.
Truth.
Someone’s
truth.
Dogma.
Authority
laid heavy.
Being
told what
to do.
What
to believe.
Being told
what,
how to
think.
Dogma,
power.
Control.
Control
over all.
The few,
the clueless
few
heavy handed
pressed on
the many.
Dogma,
human dogma.
Useless.
The blind
leading
the blind.
Human truth
a fluid thing.
Easily
manipulated.
Trick of
control.
Not worth
much.
Dogma,
human dogma
merely a
parlor game.
Smoke and
mirrors.
Trick of
convenience
control.
Best
to be
ignored.

One should always be cautious of shiny bright things and the illusions they hold. Dogma can be a useful tool for propaganda. History is loaded with facts of people using such tactics to do vile actions against others who don't believe in the things that they do. Illuminating poem my friend.
