Man has always been religious
– women too are curious, cautious,
– are there gods? or unknown forces?
– fears, suspicious, superstitious:

but suggestions made mysterious,
enslaving customs odd, capricious,
worries, pressures, stress malicious …

are dispelled by revelation
truth that’s true cuts through confusion:
Source omniscient alone
knows all truth and makes it known,
– from foolish notion and fixation
bread of truth brings liberation.

Hi Rhiannon

This is a very well thought out poem -  somehow bridging the gap between superstition and the need for some sort of unknown power that controls lives, with your religious beliefs.

Thank you, Jean. People often seem to have a fascination with the mysterious, but maybe neglect the simple fact that God has spoken to show the main answers we need, and what the supernatural really is about, and it is recorded for us in the Bible and the life and words of Jesus himself there. So no need for slavery to the latest superstition or fear. Rhiannon
