I’m an atheist he said The crowd erupted and roared Bottles thrown and spit fired Fingers pointing and foul words jointing Hear me out he asked The crowd fell to half How could we be lead by a man like you A man of no faith and belief Direction or related mind I am not like you he said I’m a man of my own With a mind of my own I do not obey the words on old paper Old faith and testaments Organized by preachers and the mystical I disobey the orders of the proclaimed Christianity It’s a waste of time Equally as blind as the blind You say I’m mislead and misguided But I grew up Grew bigger than the mythical scenes of a delusional mind We believe in Santa until You realize the man cannot fly Deliver to 7 billion people one night annually I was forced the change the human mind The manual of the distracted and unkind I am the man with my head on straight I was able to recognize, stabilize and seize A true fact would be Humans would fail to exist without bees But you’re more focused on Moses’ ability to part seas Noah saving one of each species If you could narrow your mind Aid yourself to not restrict and bind You’d be able to improve world issues Decrease poverty rates or aid small businesses Now I’m not saying you will, but you’re entirely capable I’m not saying you can’t while believing in him But to me its one less distraction and myth To arouse my imagination with Instead I use that extra time and space To ponder all of the cures and fixes Improvements and enhancements The crowd sat down I watched as they nodded their heads with hesitation Afraid to be caught by their peers I raised my chin slowly to the man in white So what do you believe in sir He grinned and grinded his teeth I am an open book Millions of pages without words on them I welcome and accept your differences I do not attempt to change your beliefs like you do me What you believe makes you diverse But when you believe a mythical soul because someone told you so Remember you are no longer diverse You can be a man of the Arab faith or Christian belief Believe that I don’t care who or what you believe I’ll accept you I’ll welcome and ingest what I like from everything you insist is correct A man of unbiased and unfettered You will no confine me or define me I intake what I adore Apply it to myself until I love nothing more Then move to the next trait I will continue to do this until my million pages are left full There would not be room for one letter left in the top right corner of my lined paper And honestly I do not want one thing from any of you You judged me on behalf of the way I live Like it would affect the way you live Instead of acceptance and an open ear You fell deaf like an infection or symptoms of vertigo Instead of open arms They became cuffed behind your back, rightfully so for your lack of embrace I have files, folders and books written Of things I wish not to be, things that are wrong and inhumane Yet im still a young man So aware and so directed So guided and lead By my own mind and beliefs rather than mythical creatures and imaginative retreats This is a book of what I do not want to be The man held a bible in his hands People did not budge or scratch Speak or lose focus If you want to believe in something the man said Believe in people Believe in good faith and kind hearts Believe in diversity and fresh starts Don’t be caught off guard to evil actions They are bound to happen But people will help and aid them Prevent and proclaim again If you want to believe in God, Believe in the force of people as one together being God God did not make that Natural Disaster happen Our ecological destruction did Do not believe that God gave the unfertile woman a baby Believe in good luck and breaking the odds My mother always told me nothing is impossible So I pledged to believe that we as humans together Will embrace and be the causes of making the impossible possible We as humans, together as one are everything you believe in We have inhumane powers, A thousand years ago they would not have believed in a CN Tower Believe in the power of us as one As we will save our people, trees, waters and everything we need One by one We are that man that is responsible for everything we see as impossible Because we convince ourselves to believe there is something more powerful than us We do not want to accept harsh and abnormal realities Instead we weaken our minds and enhance our acceptances And claim a figure named God did what humans apparently could not “And What?” a man of the crowd shouted Let me ask you this the man stared in straight face What color would your man of God be wearing “White of course, robes of white” the man shouted And let me welcome you to something sir the man on stage said Look around your room There isn’t a man or woman in this room that Is not dressed in white Although you’ll believe your God made this happen I’ll fall to believe that fate and coincidence led aid to my theory So to answer your question I will lead you into the new world One which will purify our lively hoods And change the world And if that is not enough motivation to follow my footsteps Then I do not want to lead you I will take my goals elsewhere Thank you the man said as he walked away I looked from left to right The room remained quiet and stunned Mentally reviewing everything the man just said They began to look around the room and their people, ancient brothers and sisters Until beautiful lady in a slim white dress stood up and applauded One by one the people of the future raised from their seats Clapping and screaming Shouting and embracing “We Are the People of the Future! Follow Me As I Lead You! Into The New World! I Am Your Sealer and Together We Are God! Love Me Like I Love You” The crowd erupted As I stood, clapping and smiling I was not just a bystander No, now I’m a man of the future
