Identity

This is a blunt force
instrument as clear in its
all-encompassing intent
as it is in the direction
implicit upon its
faithful to achieve its goal.
This is an ideology that
smothers personal liberty
whose faithful have
recourse to free will
as long as it is fully
understood that central
first and forever their
self-sacrificial destiny
lies in unerring and
unswerving loyalty to the
overweening belief their
souls are owned by the
spirit that moves them to
allegiance, spurning all
other possible contenders.
This is a worldwide
community of believers whose
sensitivities are anchored
in a collection of inspired
directions they hold sacred
and whose heavenly reign
extends into eternity where
they will be rewarded in the
fullness of time with everlasting
Paradisaical existence while
for those they failed to convince
lack of acceptance merits
their death as the divine has
ordained it; the mass of
erring humanity that has
resisted the persuasive call
will swelter helplessly in the
fires of Hell, pleading for
the release of death.
