On a New Explore in Spaces

I used to follow dogma,
like a person on a short leash,
pulled by my dog-ma,
until I realized,
a person should not be leashed.
*
I was pulled along by men’s straining half-truths,
(And ideas are often skewed,
by patriarchal, masculine, power-needy views).
Of course, as I worshipped at stagnated troughs,
baptized in another savior’s used bathwater,
I became complacent,
but also confused as I marched a rigid path.
In the safe crowd trodding wide roads,
I was more and more alone.
I thought that I was the master,
leading the Dog,
but one day I said to myself,
“Self, it is supposed to be G.O.D. leading you,
not D.O.G.-ma leading you.”
I had it backwards for quite a long while.
