INDIVIDUALLY UNBOUND
If I Blindly Follow
The Advice Of My Ancestors
Who Enthroned Themselves As Models Of Humanity
I Could Limit My Outlook On Life
And Forgo My Need
To Search For New Knowledge

I Am Skeptical Of The Sacred Writings
Edited By Atheists Of The Earth
And Advanced By Unenlightened Authors
Who Have Been Employed By Agnostics
For Advancing Their Own Agendas

My Intellect Is Unbound
By The Incomplete Writings
Published By The Partially Wise
Who Lived Before I Was Born

Ancient Codes And Sacred Scrolls
Containing Ancestral Advice
On The Ways We Can Live Well
Should Be Carefully Scrutinized
For Their Untested Truths
Before They Are Uncritically Accepted
As The Automatic Answers And Sole Solutions
For People With Modern Problems

Concept And Ideas Of The Past
That Have Influenced Our Attitudes And Institutions
Are Too Often The Products Of Human Prejudices
And They Must Be Intimately Examined
For The Evils They May Hide

My Instinct, Intuition, And Intelligence
Are Part Of My Mental And Spiritual Arsenal
That Helps Protect Me From The Propaganda
That The Traditions And Customs Have Fed
To The Weak And Pliant

We Should Never Unquestionably Accept
All The Precepts And Practices
Pioneered By The Paragons Of Piety
Whose Notion Of Knowledge Was Limited
