CERTAINTY

Certainty undermines one's power, and turns happiness
                into a long shot. Certainty confines.

    Dears, there is nothing in your vision that will not
        change—especially all your ideas about God.

Look what the insanity of righteous knowledge can do:
                 crusade and maim thousands
               in wanting to convert that which
                            is already gold
                                into gold              

                Certainty can become an illness
                       that creates hate and
                                  greed

                       God once said to Tuka,

                    "Even I am ever changing—
                          I am ever beyond 
                                  Myself,            

        What I once might have put my seal upon,
                        may no longer be
                            the greatest
                                 Truth."
