Naivety isn’t Virtuous, but Seeking Knowledge is

One thing I must forgive myself for is naivety.
Not all glitter is gold,

as Pony Boy once said,
And I see the rust under the paint now.

I can’t believe in

3 heads as one being

and sing praises

of a prophetic man

that some claim

as our Creator,

as heresy runs through the books.

If I am to believe,

I would rather bow

in reverence

to the One who created me.
