Marbled skin
Morgue feet
Crooked nose
Dry skin on the elbows
Green eyes
That scan the skies
In search of the man
That the church goers speak of.
Heaven is above, in the sky
Mommy told me that's where people go when they die
They're happy there, no longer shall they cry
And happier times have arrived.
Alas, my soul, my being feels deprived
There is no magic holy man who awaits in the sky.
A fabricated lie
Fed to the human kind for years
We swear on his book, we pledge allegiance under his name, some pray to him every day not just on Sunday.
Wars are waged, nonbelievers caged.
Would your god want you to treat others this way?
Because if he created you to believe
He created me to disagree
Not for your "blessed" soul to come and change me.
My perspective shared through poetry, ironically you may argue this is his gift to me.
