Is it the heat that is spreading
hidden among us
                            vortices
birthing in our bodies?
The climate: it never changes,
it is not man, but Sol:
the winds that power our earth;

We must deny everything we do;
The heat out there -
                              vortices in here -
Man did not cause it
Sol cannot cause it -
who never existed,
but for the true God

Not true; Not true;
But the cancers,
they grow;
But our cells, they
cannot hold a lie well;
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.
I laughed, and they joined in.
I kissed their cheek, freed them from sin.
Salt on my lips, I spoke forgiveness.
Funny, being a child at eighty.
I'm somewhere between atheistic and agnostic, but the idea of 'God' has always drawn my attention. The certainty people have of 'his' inhuman perfection... well, it's not very satisfying.

if imperfections make art,
the skin and your face is anything but art,
but i can't find any better artwork,
then yourself.
but then you're not created by humans,
but by God,
whose creations are perfect as they are.

broccoli allowances are sparse in the amenities of heightened bulk
now is that what we humans need though?
a lessening of powdered salt and a grainful of speech perhaps instead?
these are just questions.
powdered salt like the caustic membranes which chuff at the insides if out outer innards making us inaccessible to each other and sorry, but a pile of dough. For them to knead, so why should we hear their pleas? that thaaaat thaaat thaaaaaat that. thaaaaaaaaat. yeah ******* authorities.
This poem starts with the noton of physical health, feeling like typical notions of health are out reach. it's tone of eloquence however here, suggests that there is a privilege being given to the writer, as she casually disregards consumerist ideas of physical health or 'bulk' also.

by powdered salt she could be referring to another drug, amphetamines or ******* maybe, asking for a replacement medication that will cure her speechlessness and even trauma perhaps it would seem - as the next line describes the powdered salt as nothing more than a blight on human autonomy.

As a writer, sh could have a vendetta against these drug prescribers or she may just be unsure if other concepts such as love. which, to be fair do seem to be absent from her other writings.
Seth H 2d
Times I prayed it were a dream
Panic for walls, desperate roofs

Other times wishing I'd just wake up
Goggles of illusion unable to remove

Temptation calls to beg for the past
Reconcile memories, bridges of ash

But squinting onward revealing a path
Bright & dusty, motivation is rash

Bones push on, contrasting desire
Canyons & valleys formed of lips and skin

Beckoned further & to pillar of fire
Collecting hope in a can of tin

Temptation calls to set the first & the last
Plot my own course on my own map

But onto the teacher only to grasp
If I pass when I die, then my life is a class
Blessed Sunday, friends and folks

why do they say,
‘love thy neighbour’
then spit in their faces?

why is the exception to that rule
when they are different?

don’t they know that
god created us different
for a purpose
a reason?

they let dogmas blind their hearts
like blindfolds they keep on themselves
swimming in the babble of the hard hearted

poke your head above the water
see the light
love your neighbour as yourself

let that commandment not be mere words
on paper
live it; embrace it; do it
Winter 3d
Love is in the Eyes
She shines bright and brighter still
Like Gold
Dazzles me into a state of unbridled happiness
For both Young and Old
Love unfolds

Love exists in all duality
It will hurt  
It hurts to know oneself deeply
Love is brutal
Broken love is still love
Self care is self love
it protects…
Vulnerability says that love lives here too.
Love is
integrity and intention.

Love is God.
Omnibenevolence.
Like an all encompassing hug
It makes us whole…
Every thing with a spirit needs love…

Love is growth.
Love is warmth.
All evolving
To me… love is in all things
my metamorphosis and my dreams.

Yours
Ays
How do you define love? Do you think it evolves?
I seen God
and then that’s all I could see!
Such fun he’s having indeed
Pretending that he’s suffering
Pretending that he’s poor
Pretending that he needs a state of peace and war
And so we rest upon our thrown
and dream until we turn to stone

What if
There are
Two Gods?
One false,
Popular,
And the true one,
Known by only few.
When we were kids, me and my brother made a theory that some "christians" (the ones that use religion to justify discrimination) believe in their own, false God, oblivious to the one they're "supposed" to believe in.
