What To Believe

What To Believe

A Poem by E.J. Waling

What to

believe?

Stories.

Human

stories.

Countless.

Since the

beginning.

Trying to 

make

sense.

Ancient,

still holding

sway.

Spun up,

laid out.

Dogmatic

in nature.

Human,

by definition,

limited.

Finite

understanding.

Held high

as universal 

truth.

Narrative 

driven.

Enveloping 

comfort,

control.

Holding

at bay

fear,

trepidation.

Human

realities.

Human 

nature.

Human

understanding.

Limited 

in nature.

Holding

on.

Human

creation.

Nothing 

more.
