The Boundaries of Perception

The monopoly on the almighty 
Is but a deluded perception 
Of those blinded by arrogance 
And guided by ignorance 

Too many exist 
Within limited boundaries 
Imposed by their fears 
Enforced by prejudice 

How can something 
The Alpha and the Omega 
Be so limited 
As to fit into a human paradigm 
That cannot see beyond 
Its own limited reality 

How presumptuous 
To say we share the likeness 
Of an entity 
That is everywhere and everything 
But cannot be clearly defined 

It is an impossibility 
For there to be one singular truth 
When each person 
Has there own unique perceptions 
Not to mention comprehension 
Of what is 

There is no collective consciousness 
From where we think as one 
From there, logically 
There is a different reality 
A different truth 
For each individual mind 
And a different manifestation 
Of the almighty 
For each person 
Which would be based on their 
Understanding 
Their perceptions
