Contemplation on the Odu Osa Ogbe ( osa lofogbeyo )

Today's
lunatic
zealot
delusional charismatic leader
Is tomorrow's
ascetic
prophet
Divinely inspired child of God
Our collective unconscious creates religion where it didn't exist
History gives form to God where there was none
We give faith to impossible attempts to explain the unknowable
When power and knowledge is promised to us
What started with one person
flowered into an army
with a rank and file
all attempting to justify their existence
in the name of one
lunatic or ascetic
zealot or prophet
delusional or divine
faith is in the eye of the beholder
truth is unattainable
or is it?
