The Universe Contradicts Fixed Beliefs Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Reality is not owned,
By those who choose to keep it deluded.
Unfortunately,
Truth has been used as device to convince...
Whomever rushes to document their perspectives,
Should be followed and not subjected...
To debating what accepted beliefs they have.
Since symbols and myths represents their past.

A past to depict a validating of their existence.
A past that excludes millions of life forms...
In different dimensions too!

Much discovered in the Universe contradicts fixed beliefs,
Of what people are taught on Earth to serve...
With unending conflicts to keep.
To say we have been created by a greater intelligence,
That has nothing to do with the serving of our self interest...
Would begin to put all ignorance to rest,
If protective and divided mindsets collectively made that a quest.
To then effectively abandon the pettiness to forever reject.

The Universe contradicts fixed beliefs.
A teaching of nine planets still in schools exist.
And yet there are thousands more than that,
But explanations of this is not permitted.
To leave those who worship in an limited ignorance.

Because they are far,
We call them stars.
But like our Sun...
Revolving planets around them are done.

And if our Sun is also a star,
Who can say...
How many 'Gods' there are...
Omni-present with problems like ours to solve.
