Sing

I plead with you not to speak except to break the air and sing
Bring forth the heart that is listening
Dutiful to your passion, fulfilled, holding aloft that which can never be still;
The jagged heartbreak, the quavering schill calling plaintively, "Are you coming for me?"
...
"Are you coming back for me?"

And you reject the old bylines, criticisms, cataclysms of popular opinion
Noise buzzing within you turns to vibration
And you know
I have always been here

Grasp that which they say cannot be held
And continue as if no one is watching
Coleseph Nelzsun Feb 2016
The truth is I don't know where I stand
On the most important issue that has always puzzled man

So many different people claim to hold the keys and the solution
Those raised up with one belief never search for their own conclusions

They experience encounters that they claim are more than mental
But fail to realize the Bible is as inconsistent as my academic schedule

Those from different religions are ****** to burn in hell
Yet their religion is as real to them as yours is to yourself

Where you focus faith and energy in puts you on a path
A lifestyle and way of thinking that could be good or could be bad

The mind is very powerful; it can bring peace or strife
Religion has caused mass pain and death but also joy and life

But why must we trust in a force that's clearly nowhere near?
If God is love and has plan then why is he not here?

He created us to know him so why can't we clearly see his will and plan?
We refer to God as he so maybe he's just a man

I'm not saying your religion for a fact can not be real
But use your brain to access logic and don't be such a schill
I wrote this five years ago. When I had just begun to take a second look at my belief system. Since then I have continued to search for truth and along my journey I have grown immensely.
