The poem “Surety Set” was inspired by thoughts about dogmatic blindness, confirmed by a quote by Philip K Dirk that began with “They want to be the agents, not the victims, of history.”

Listen to poem:

To come from faith is a trap snares woven between the words took to heart by the sincere before the mind is lost to fear there is no telling where a life ends from conception to the last descent into madness without escape surety set against all wills others are damned as so entranced the lockstep standard is applied wedded to religion’s jest that ego lost is safety gained confusion is the monster born identity turned to flip the tale where the god stands alone or is the enemy of common man.
