Maturity

Many have been troubled by religious multiplicity
Baffled by competing cults and seeming contradictions
Serving as a springboard for
The ambitious vindication of
Charismatic ballyhoo
Infliction and damnation.

From infancy to adolescence
Gentle the progression
While entrance to maturity levies heavy discipline
Of habits and emotions to prevail against the alluring of
Inveterate imposters
Setting off upheaval from within.
