Absolute

Having made up one’s mind

It a closed system,

It allows nothing in or out.

Conversation and connection

Is made futile.

Christianity calls it a hard heart.

It is an unwillingness

To consider anything

Other than one’s own point of view.

It is a subtle form of blasphemy,

A self-idolatry considering

One’s own conclusions absolute.

It is a system whereby

One closes oneself off

Into a tiny world

Of one’s own making

Where even God

Will not intrude.
