Seekers

our minds
are bound by history,
even if,
one day we...
discover it is wrong; so,

our hearts
vow to change it
and we
set about the task,
but along the way,
we encounter
resistance and claims
these tales are true...
and we
are halted in our tracks;
our souls,
as free as they know to be
surround the heavens
with their pleas
for intervention...
still,
our laws,
made by Christians,
favor not the truth
or our desired reconciliation
because
they have the power
and the seekers do not.
