true belivers

there is nothing so
arrogant
as someone who believes
their opinion
is the opinion
by which
all others
        should be judged.

as if their
their slant
is the angle
to which
all morals
         should be measured.

and what i mean by
opinion
is all of those teachings
that were forced upon us
from an early age;
the ones that have stacked up
and burdened us into
believing in a vengeful
hope that was never there -
a simple interpretation
by which
the multitudes have fallen.

for when love
dilutes love through inequality
it is not true love,
but force reckoned through fear.

and what i mean by fear
is the inability to move
past opinions
and open your eyes long enough
to see that
you are not the only one
blessed with sight.
