Ritual

Ritual. Comfort in ritual. Dark forbodding place. Ancient, unknown. Ancient times filled with uncertainty. Dangers everywhere. Enter ritual. Special places. Gatherings, holding darkness at bay. Group. Safety in numbers. Rituals. Spirts of the woods. Ceremonies, keeping evil afar. Answering the unknown. Rituals, modernity. No different. Soothing fears of uncertainty. Rituals, safety. Ancient tradition.

Some people, such as yourself, not only clearly understands 'the signs of the times,' but you also very carefully and very simplistically--"tell it actually like it is," without any sugar coating of it. But this, according your words of modern wisdom--didn't begin with modern times:
Answering
the unknown.
Rituals,
modernity.
No different.
Soothing
tears of
uncertainty.
Rituals.
safety.
Ancient
tradition.
But do Ceremonies, keeping evil
afar really answer the unknown?
That depends firmly on the rituals
themselves and their sources:
Either the forces of darkness
or the forces of truth and light?
