Facade of the Fife Playing in Religious Minds

destruction
of insight that
once inspired them,
religious minds of pompous
attitudes is getting harder for them
to sustain,

and we,
the elite,
orientation is
getting easier,

our
cosmic
religious
experience
of past life is
strong,

our
ever-expanding
scientific mind of
community an alchemical
enterprise of wealth-accumulating
knowledge, encrusted theology a sterile
enterprise, self-appointed handmaidens
chosen for a higher purpose,

creativity unites
mind and heart in
timeless seeing and
liberation, to hell with
epistemological functions,

holistic in
the ongoing
actuality of cosmic
creation, our intelligence
imbuing from the cosmos,

we say
to those
who participate
in the facade of the
fife playing in religious
minds, your chosen enlightenment
a misnomer, you cannot sway over our
belief - two sides of the coin, the religionist's
faith in belief,

the secularist's
faith in reason, which
is ours - we are Earth, Wind,
Fire, Water, Spirit and Dulcimer.
