Command is holy to a blind.

You know more of the world
than did your father and fore fathers
and set aside as out dated
their thoughts and views
but cling to the scriptures
and religious doctrines
written far, far back
when their knowledge of the world
was much, much less
and very much in rudimentary stage.

A command, however old,
is held gold by the blind.
