Live a poetic existence. Take responsibility for the air you breathe and never forget that the highest appreciation is not to just utter words, but to live them compassionately.

The Proverbs of Religious Bigotry- Part I: An Atheist’s Confession

I want to believe
in a power beyond my own.
In trust, in faith - to be naïve;
my heart no longer harbor in stone.
Can I be freed by those who trail,
misspoken words of no avail,
from a God who’s presence is so cold?

A dire time eats my will.
Disparity seals my heart that I’m
finding refuge in his petty shrill.
My voice; no more words
than scriptures laced with lines that blur.
Spoken truth I do prefer
then be amongst rows of statues,
extremely lonely.

Pity enables the foolish kind,
saluting a welcomed anguish.
A guide who tames the deaf and blind
with a fallacious love he bestows.
My tired self has drowned,
in convenience that I have found,
to burn my eyes with such a sound
as piercing as gospels sang by the partisan of Satan.
