The Fetters of Mankind.
Come! Shun the all pervasive myths of old.
Cast off these chafing fetters of your mind,
Enslaving you with tales repeated told
Of glory after death for meek mankind.
Yet agony for those who disobey
The whims and wishes of this rightful lord
And his appointed guardians (so they say)
Perpetuating evermore the fraud.
Enslavement of the masses is the creed:
Chicanery the means by which 'tis done.
Thus do the enslaved masses claim they're freed
When, truth be told, their overlords have won.
But those who do escape this maelstrom
Will refuge find - here at Agnostic com.
Anyone who would like to use this sonnet, please feel free to do so.

May I see your membership card, madam? 
@Petter ahem, I think you'll find I'm on the guest list (I'm sure I have my Dr Who id or Jedi cloak around here somewhere).
@girlwithsmiles Oh so sorry madam. I've located you under "Sherwood Forest Hoodies"

Thank you. So do I, but then I'm biased
Written in anticipation of my hopefully imminent elevation to a stage above the seventh heaven!

Wait til reality hits!
@Petter congrats Petter on reaching level 8!
@SpikeTalon Thank you, Spike. Another year and I might reach level 9 unless I'm banished from this site by my wife!
@FrayedBear Reality struck an hour later! Now it's sinking in. 10 weeks ago I was a day old level 1.
@Petter You have done it very quickly I think it took me about 93 days and I had the benefit of a couple of groups. After you receive your T shirt you will be able to contribute to the album of photographs of it being displayed around the world.
@FrayedBear I'll be away from here in three weeks, so I don't know if it will arrive in time for me to wear on top of a Swiss mountain or in front of the Bayeux tapestry, I shall be home in mid September for a local photo.
@Petter You can always take the photos and photoshop the T shirt in later. You have seen its colour from the photos that I put up.
