Dogma
       

Dogma, from the Greek, means "that which one

thinks is true,"

but less literally, and less terribly,
it just means opinion. We've been advised

to shy from it.

I Picture this: a dog barking, but its bark
is insistent

and all the shouts
out the window at it to

quiet the hell down

won't get the job done.

This is dogma
I'm talking about, so watch out.

It'll keep you up at night, and if it doesn't then maybe
you've lost your hearing.
