This summer, It will rain everyday For upon the damp cobblestones- A mime mocks the preacher Pointing to the clouds with a weeping wince Tracing the stars that mock us from a distance Amused that they refuse to align His lungs flare as he chests a laugh Humored by his blasphemy But the preacher does not grin “At what expense?” says the sorrowful preacher, “The immense Hellfire,” He warns, “hellfire. Your sins weigh you down, mime Like laden metal- Copper, silver, bronze- And you will meet the devil” The mime mimics the terror He presses his palms together And faces the sky once more “Mercy on me,” The mime speaks “A mercy asked for with trembling hands, these hands, my hands.” The preacher stands stunned as the mime breaks his act. But god laughs at him As he tries to appease what he cannot see His race will have no finish, until he realizes He's always been free.

Copper, Silver, Bronze
I would pray, But he's probably too busy, Killing people Tearing families apart Spreading diseases Watching children starve He's too focused on his reality TV, That's our reality. He can't be bothered to listen, To that teenagers cry for help, As they beg for a reason Not to End it all He doesn't have time to hear about, Your pancreatic cancer It's in operable? Not. His. Problem. You devoted your life to worship? Too. **** Bad. See, I would pray for, Peace Or Mercy But he's too invested in his, Little old game.

Mercy? Don't. Make. Me. Laugh.
people want free will People want help People that suffer People that love But people autonomous But people look for a leader But mostly independence To prevent all war and suffering To create war in the name of a god or oneself Some question and some blame the god still keep free will for the beneficiary

I
Before birth, where were you? Who can... know without a mind? see without eyes? hear without ears? smell without a nose? taste without a tongue? feel without nerves? be present without a body? create from nothing, something? We are bombarded with questions, led to infinite regression. Welcome reality. The Order of Sentience is sensual, intellectual then emotional; such is The Discernment Theory. Hurry, it can't be done in the afterlife.

The Order of Sentience
This matter is too heavy, far bigger than you and I. Life is too complex to comprehend alone so let's gather everything we need. Save your prayer for fools. You are just a mortal, a man at that. Misbegotten, apparently you believe you can influence the gods; validation confirmation. If you conclude everything that has occurred is divine-will then the half-empty cup is always half-filled until logic spills its disambiguation. Observe, research, hypothesize, experiment, document, analyze and conclude. I am a revenant.

Revenant
Last time we discussed this I thought it was an exhaustion to last a lifetime. Forsaken the digression. Focus to reach a conclusion. You've rivaled my conduct, now answer me: How can anyone believe an act is abominable then proceed to commit it? You're predisposed to love sin though its notion is flawed and its actor is a fraud. Surrender to evil for it's who you are. We can't relate to the affliction of the schizophrenic so we're dismissed as 'anarchists'. Today ancient word has no merit when new idols speak. Face us, accuser as you do your worst. If karma were to exist, you'd be the most cursed. Your past would catch up to you with a wrath, wreaking havoc but you're to blame when vengeance is thy name. We decline what you prescribe, a false dichotomy. Raise a fist. We've committed deicide. We are a different breed, we live free for here & now; breed of anarchy. We are a different breed, we live free for here & now; breed of anarchy. We are a different breed, we live free for here & now; breed of anarchy. We are a different breed, we live free for here & now... Make a joyful noise and bang your head to the sound of beautiful revelry, yeah.

Breed of Anarchy
Making sense of it all, it has you consumed. "This is true for that is so due to this is true for that is so due to this is true for that is so due to this. If this then that, it indeed is that therefore it must be this." I figure your speech is of a fool... 'Sugar-coated' for your noxious rejection of the assertive. Here comes what's good for you... consume the tangible. I figure your speech is of a fool. Truth is not a requisite of belief nor is belief a requisite of truth; it is what it is with or without you. "Starve your doubts to feed your faith," they say, “You're safe in your safe-space." "Starve your doubts to feed your faith," they say, “You're safe in your safe-space." You're only fooling yourself. Welcome to the real world. Soon you will realize that our opinion does not require your permission and that no one's comfort is their **** right. Pardon my lack of discretion for the faint of mind. Making sense of it all, it has you consumed. Here comes what's good for you... consume the tangible. Truth is not a requisite of belief nor is belief a requisite of truth; it is what it is with or without you. "Starve your doubts to feed your faith," they say, “You're safe in your safe-space." "Starve your doubts to feed your faith," they say, “You're safe in your safe-space." You're only fooling yourself. I hear you talking but your words just aren't speaking to me. Speak up, speak up.

Faint of Mind
I can't trust anyone who sacrifices an innocent being and deems it as 'good'. Does it make sense? Am I misunderstanding? I can't help myself, unaware of the details... Trying to conceive reality with a mind that fails to recognize authenticity. If free will is an illusion, I can't decide my motivation. Forbidden, I am your victim. Please, grant me wisdom. Oh God, show yourself. I don't want to believe, I want to know. Even if God made Himself indisputably known then my concern would not be whether He exists rather if I should obey His commandments. I rebuke God in the name of mankind. Us versus you, truth versus fiction. In this holy war I've committed deicide and left you to carry... the burden of proof.

Armageddon
If you are convinced that we are sojourners, assert sovereignty. He is The Lord so commit a first-degree felony: Subvert The Judicial Government, incur capital punishment. Feels like you're lukewarm. Summon a martyr. If you are confident that we are terrestrial, assert righteousness. Nothing is Sacred so commit a grave sin. Blaspheme The Holy Spirit, incur divine retribution. Feels like you're tepid. Summon a wise man. In the seas of uncertainty you’ve become one with the waves of doubt. Your vernacular is esoteric and quite profound yet we don't get it. By clear and gushing refreshment we are quenched. You're neither hot nor cold so we ***** you out of our mouths; you're no longer worth talking about. You're childish and child-like. Mature. Adults are occupied.

Debaptism
Your pulpit rests on an ornate altar; your glamorous stage of trickery. You conduct a masquerade. You are the impostor. You illustrate 'a better way to live' behind closed doors. You always reach inside only to pull out what wasn’t there before. You are the illusionist. You liar, you liar, you aren’t a medium. You’re just crafty with syntax. You liar, you liar, you aren’t a prophet. You are the charlatan. It is easy to disguise witty sly as fact when you shout so loud there’s never talking back. You deceive worse than 'the enemy'. You are the predator; you are the beast. You don’t care, you want them in despair to keep them coming to your lair. You babble and roar in a foreign tongue, breathing into their lungs Preaching, always breathing, seething hymns of false hope into the young. Fasting; they're just starving, more misery for the smug. You are the leader of the cult. You built your fortress from their tithes. I am the illuminator shining light on your darkest lies.

Must you be intimidated to do what’s right? Walk by faith, not by sight. Is that a ghost? Do you not know your conscience? I see the despair in your eyes. Assumptions are for the ignorant so seek insight. Nothing is possible when you make believe, you can't make me believe your false reality. Nothing is possible when you make believe, you can't make me believe your false reality. Nothing is possible when you make believe, you can't make me believe your false reality. Nothing is possible when you make believe, you can't make me believe your false reality. I see the despair in your eyes as you cherish words that you don't even know. May this be your salvation. You know it all, deny everything. You know-it-all, Who are you to defy me? You know it all, deny everything. You know-it-all, Who are you to defy me? You play God, no wonder you haven't found Him. You play God. Walk by faith, not by sight. Is that a ghost? Do you not know your conscience? You know it all, you’re frustrated; you know-it-all, you're frustrated due to your arrogance. I see the despair in your eyes. Your time has come, we're going home. Reach for the sky, we're almost there. Reach for my reaching hand, let's dismiss the premises.

Fathom Phantoms
"There's no escaping, my grace escapes me, slips out from under and creaks the floorboards, this isn't me." So you're the supervillain, a figment amongst my existence. I am a shape-shifter, I am infinite. Beware the swarm of the world: behold the juggernaut. I laugh at the thought of your threat. In the presence of temptation we'll realize our conviction. Where there's a will, there's a way. Amidst the minds of those you victimize at the mercy of my tongue; my speech, your demise. My limbs, an arsenal. I could lift a finger and you would never haunt again. Fear me, figure in the darkness. I am a shape-shifter, I am infinite. Beware the swarm of the world: behold the juggernaut. I laugh at the thought of your threat. You can't take me down. Return to Earth.

Spirit Mockery
This garden reeks of suspicion. These fruits leave a bad taste in my mouth. I am the one they warned you about. I speak forbidden wisdom. I am the voice of reason. I possess forbidden knowledge, you cannot touch this unless you stray from the plan. Embark the fall of man. The truth shall set you free. Get off your mortal knees. Manipulate the elements, make our world bow. We're all gods now.

Disambiguation
I have struck the imperceptible with the hammer that shatters gods Clarion’s Call a warning flying out splayed across the minds and bodies shrouded in mysteries shrouded in miseries Bended knees folded hands mumbling words from distant lands about things they know not because their gods required they forgot Knowledge Humanity Serenity It is a command Grovel at my porcelain seat As God rains down **** upon Believers who are forgetters who are maggots digging in **** Suckling on the *** of ignorance Weighty was the hammer It had everything I needed Burnished surface hard structure consistency encumbered Over and over Again and Again Struck I upon the corpse of the dead gods building a resonation from within Until, like all gods do… they shattered screaming in their deaths But the words came out as a whimper about how we need them We do not The handle made from the finest grains Stronger than steel The head The Mattock in all but form Struck down all gods with one simple word… Aλήθεια...Truth

Hammer that Shatters All gods
i wish i could believe the way that others do without anger, without questions without counting the dead or sick as evidence. between disbelief something lingers faith? desire? the ache the hope that i am wrong but why would this all be created a world so heavy a mouthful of diamonds and a pocketful of secrets the patterns control my mind those patterns take away my time i wish i could believe i wish i could believe i wish i could believe

i wish i could believe
I was bullied Im depressed I cry myself to sleep at night hoping that one tear might burn a hole in my cheek So ask me one more time why i wont believe in a benevolent god When he clearly left me out Like everyone else did I tried praying I read I used logic So tell me again why i dont believe in god When he answered you But pushed my mail aside like spam I converted I lived happily I became humanist spiritualist So ask me again why i dont believe in god When im happier without him When im still depressed but with hope So ask me again to ‘find god’ When I wasn't the one who lost him I escaped him

Lost him
Faceless angels fall You and I see They scream and call No god answers They're bare They're faceless Only white hair With creamy skin They Glided Or they ran Grace is confided Never in or out They got thin And start to slow Did they sin? Was death a punishment? Death was the end Or was it the start? No matter what I send You'll never see angels

Faceless Angels
We are nonbelievers Our skin sparkles in that light We glow from past mistakes And trauma fuels our fight Never speak of pain Or wear a wound on our face We're better than that, mature Mentality-a constant race Emotions are a betrayal Hints of suffering in our eyes Pain dusted across our face Lives being woven through lies I am a nonbeliever And with that, I stand tall But a part of me decays Every time I see another angel fall

Angels Fall
people have their god and people have their no god but neither has solid proof nor the definitive answer only what they truly believe in and they’re so sure of themselves that they’ll defend and protect their beliefs if any differences are shouted at them and they’ll hold and cradle their beliefs tightly like a security blanket and they’ll preach their beliefs to any pair of ears they come across it’s the never-ending game straddling the on-going centuries if you have god, go with god and if you have nothing, go with nothing just leave me the hell out of it: your beliefs my beliefs his beliefs her beliefs their beliefs were never a certainty.

If               You                            Do                                  Not                                  Believe                                 In                       God           Ergo Jesus Than WHY Do You Participate Celebrate Religious Holidays Christmas And Easter? Ulterior Motives? To Get Gifts.      Free Stuff My poem resembles The Question Mark ? I called this Word Art While some people have indicated it can be distracting. I like the challenge of completing the picture. Inspired song 1) Tell Me Why The Backstreet Boys 1999

Dichotomy
Fall on your own sword; If you must die Do it on a hill On which you shall be revived. From where at its summit & base A well should spring Of water which you may both wade, Clean enough to be drank. By both, either side, Whether Abrahamic or Pagan Both religious & spiritual. By whatever side walked Around the waterhole, No matter the kind of animal. Any coast situated near the ocean, Any forest covered with trees, Any open & vacant clearing.

On Tha Linë
Why do I fear what is near Tears through our rain Count down every year Why do we yearn for our dear To hear a call as we fall As l ascend to heaven you are here When I make my bed you are here The ten command That were too harsh for man Why must you demand Perfect holy land Once as hopeless as Lilith Did I not know my limit Enlighten me in my consciousness Ground me in the presence Allure my affluence For my third eye left me with such penury Grant me mercy For my surface mind gave me spiritual insight From the root to my crown Do not let me drown In pits that are lit Why must I question what ill see Beauty isn't something we fear Temptation is clear in the deception Our guardians are indescribable Our wrongs will be held liable What if I turn over the bible Will you bury me in my affidavit For there is good in my intuitive belief I never guess what time will read I never question what is beneath A God that we have yet seen I never question life within my eyes Our time will come with such delirious demise
