Predisposed to rebellion,

It’s the nature of the beast.

But also somewhat malleable,

And led to disbelief.

Tastes shaped by unseen forces,

Or the seemingly benign.

Our natural human spirit,

Can be warped and misaligned.

Unravelling fact from fiction,

Is an arduous task, it’s true.

And it’s hard to wade into the mud,

To find authentic you.

What’s untainted by deception,

And a skewed reality,

Will be revealed and bring you to,

Who you were always meant to be.

And you’ll find true rebellion lies,

In things you once rejected.

Beliefs our ancestors embraced,

Once again will be respected.

Family, duty, hope and faith,

A trust in natures’ wisdom.

True freedom of the heart and soul,

And an escape from this mental prison.
