Inquisition

Lift that curtain of certainty
to reveal a veil of doubt, a sheer
screen that exposes naked pretensions of
truth.

Struggle through a choking web of
counterfeit explanations, concealing
honest skepticism behind a mountain of
lies.

Peel back layers of dogmatism
to find the foundations of knowledge,
astride not definite answers, but infinite
questions.
