Faith in the New Fade

faith has been categorically discredited
in the New Fade, something fanatics
believe in, but to scoffed at as the remnant
of earlier times, corrupted in its essence
and hardly to be trusted

that's a damn shame, because
there are a lot of good things
about faith, something
to believe in not just
for the sake of tradition
and a basic understanding
of culture and history, but rather
as something that attempts to look
beyond the mundane and peak
behind the veil of reality
to something bigger than yourself,
not science which merely
categorizes things but rather
mysteries that perhaps
earlier generations have
clarified in some way
you may not have considered
in your personal experiences

so maybe it's time
for faith
to make a comeback

no longer to be shunned
but shared

it's worth considering
