A belief is a thought I believe in.
Only thoughts that we believe in become our beliefs.
There are thoughts we don't believe in and can let go of easily. Where else our beliefs can be conscious or subconscious thoughts that define our actions.
I know it sounds plausible and like nothing new but give it an actual thought 😉
When Jesus talks, I listen to his words,
Which always, make me think,
Usually when I’m alone, they can arrive,
At any moment, as quick as an eye wink.
Not answers, to make the world perfect,
God gave us that gift years ago, humans,
Are not the best caretaker’s, perfect, is not,
The choice word for many, just look behold.
When Jesus was born, from the shining of a bright star,
Kings arrived, on camels with gifts, even gold, they believed!
Why was evil permitted to take over, to deceive, today,
Not much sharing, those with wealth use it to control,
Always talk of wars, more ways to ****, from evil minds,
God could dismiss those, and their dangerous toys,
At any moment in time.

Life whispers through cracks
in our certainties—
a trickster breaching walls
we mistake for shelter.

Dogma: anchors in shifting tides.
The wise sailor knows when
to cut the line.
Be open minded
If there's one thing I take away from this,
It's that you need to be a free thinker,
And make your own decisions.

If you want to believe something,
You should look into it first,
I don't know the people this may hurt.
Don't take this wrong, I still want the ****'s and manipulators gone fore good. But I think we should work to prove hard case 100 percent before we attack somebody for it. Rumors are like a bio weapon, they will **** anybody around regardless of the lines you draw.
Faith is a torch I must carry,
I won't let the beliefs it taught us fade away.
Brotherhood, loyalty, bravery,
I pray so we don't meet the day,
God is replaced with a robot.
I'd rather have faith in a God I don't know is there, than slave to a machine I see wherever I turn.
Sleep, Genesis, sleep, in the shadows of night,
My fallen sons, amidst the fading light,
Slumber in peace, where the echoes fade away,
No more sorrow, let your spirit find its way.

Rest now in dreams, where pain won't find you,
The Last Adam can blot out the first sin too,
Paradise lost is in need to appease,
Reaping and sowing like a disease.

Sadness desends on humanity expelled,
In wrath we flee our shame has repelled,
Drinking scorn like water, cascading tears like rain,
In this hollowed space the door bound by the chain,

Beneath the cradle's bed, two angels in repose,
In heaven, in death, where the cold wind blows.
Cease the pain, as your body lies still,
Life's just in vain for a time, like a bitter pill,

For us to gain, what the darkness conceals,
By mankind's true Savior, what will be revealed?
Now let us lie in no blame dancing free,
In peace we will rest in hope, for eternity.
Just a touch of faith, rhyme poem.

So common for its ease,
Like feathers wandering in the afternoon breeze;
So trivial, lacking empathy,
Like humans subjugating nature.

So easy to deny knowledge,
Like fake news carried by the constant breeze;
So common, without understanding,
Like information without discernment.

Lacking empathy;
Respect is disregarded;
The other is excluded;
Vision is closed;
One's own interests are prioritized.

For unfounded beliefs,
Without seeing the facts
That reveal the subjectivity
Of the view of one or of many,
Which, nevertheless, does not define
Wisdom, knowledge, discernment –
So relative, even through reason.

Like cattle in false pens,
They prefer to be guided
Rather than seek and uncover,
To think, test, and define.
Belief, prejudice
Or time?
The misinformation of people is maintained,
Trapped by the interests of certain exclusive groups.

And I, thinking,
Without destination,
Reflecting on myself,
Confused,
Spreading uncertain concepts,
Certain knowledges,
Modified.
Reflecting on ignorance and misinformation, where, even in a world with easy access to knowledge, we can still fall into misinformation and be led by ignorance.

where i was born
i was raised to believe
in the higher power
in the divine power
‘reza pro papai do céu!’

where i was born
i was raised to love someone
upon anyone
‘ame a Deus acima de todas as coisas’

when i grew
a little bit,
a little too much in mind
so much that mom forced me
to pray to a power
i dont even believe in

yells
just yells
no, mom!
that way i won’t even listen to myself!

—perhaps that’s what it’s all about.
it’s hard to believe
dont force religion on others, please

I have seen the hurricane

I have caused the avalanche

the firestorm met me where
I lay in bed at night

I want you to see my alabaster skin
And Pan Am smile

I want to show you my matted fur
and smoking breath

I want you to ask me why I'm angry.

It's awe inspiring.
It's wonderous.
I truly believe.
I'm IN.
                                        but

I do wonder.
Doubt creeps in.
Then thought.
Now insight.
Now I don't.
I'm OUT!
