Surrender
There is a test,
A measure
Of our desire to
Be our own person.
******
We are told what is right,
With no equivocation.
Examination of truth
Is forbidden.
We must believe or be
Doomed to eternal exile.
******
That is the test.
Not of truth,
Not of reason,
Not of thought
Or of consideration.
******
The test is of
Our desire to belong.
To be accepted,
To go along
Without question.
******
Do not ask,
Do not wonder.
Do not consider or
Contemplate.
*******
Accept.
Conform.
Capitulate.
*****
In doing this,
You will know the comfort of
Belonging.
But you will know little else.
