Belief

Belief; the indulgent servant of man’s imagination
The sealer of his fate; the unlit candle of the lost…
Frowned on by experience; walks the endless path of hope…

Belief; optimistic in its emptiness, and the choosing of a way
Competing with its equals, in words men use to pray...
Submerged in dreams of make believe, and things God didn’t say…

Belief; Creator of false idols, self-limiting by rules
Mother of division, giving birth to many fools…
Fights to hide the light inside, the brightest of all jewels…
