how revolutionary it was to discover what was wrong

how incredible it was to discover science

religion was just a pleasuring screen

covering the realities we are gifted and cursed with


what if our screens break?

cuts us with its holy glass?

does truth ever hinder us more?

was it so bad to simply remove the screen?


my screen was simply the harsh rule of a fist

i havent been so obedient either

but the screen has isolated me from truth

law was one thing, but truth was another


i havent realized the chains binding me before

not until they have pointed it out

i didnt know my shackles dragged along as i walked

until they who defied law broke them for me


they spoke of truth and a not so distant paradise they lived in

they lived easy

spoke easy

made everything look like second nature


i wanted to simply dream of their lives

but those were still monitored

what if i had a taste of that forbidden freedom?

what if i breathed it just once?


the chains they broke off still left scars on my wrists

the scars screamed no

they told me no, i would be further condemned for my actions

so i told myself no


but everything seemed so nice with them

but i felt happy with them

no, screamed the scars

before i knew it, the chains wrapped around me again


they who defied law lived.
