"This poem is a reflection on religiosity and dogma.  Never in the history of the modern world has participation in organized religion been less.  Yet one can argue that never in recorded history have human beings been more dogmatic and more devout in our attatchments to ideologies.  Modern human beings are rife with religiosity.  We're zealously anthropocentric, techno-eutopian, tribalist, nationalist, territorialist, market fundamentalist, materialist, etc., etc..  The list is far too long.  And these modern religions, like the religions of old, are droningly adhered to and seldom seriously questioned."
