A Virulent Delusion

A dream is cut short, stifled…
The path to truth shrouded
The dominion of indoctrination
Spewing forth callous lies
Lo and behold!
A skeptic resurgence
Reclaiming logic once lost to the yoke of pious doctrine
Every day, burning to push against the weight of
collective cognition; a moral imperative
A sudden lapse in perspective, a clash in the mind
Is all it takes to stoke the glowing fires of reason!
The Stars were not 'made' for the lowly man
But man can conquer the stars through knowledge and will.
«Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands.
Like an unctuous merchant, they offer solidarity and uplift;
competing as they do in a marketplace.
But we have a right to remember
how barbaric they behaved when they were strong
and were making an offer that people could not refuse.» — C. Hitchens
