One Holy Mess

The human race speaks of a faraway place called heaven no doubt there, they’ll breathe easy knowing some still care, yet to flee from incarnation’s mask, anxious tears so many have to share, for while we have but a limited time here, hunger for and pay homage to that eminent gig in the sky, if only to await one’s promise after a lifetime able to turn to glance upon the earth, the colour clear, tainted with the blood of those whom in his name die. Is it written that evil would survive in many forms power to wield when humanity spawned to become a collection of wretched emotions here in the great “Bee Hive” for eons of tears after creation dawned? From the outset irrefutable impressionists hold the reigns dwell in the surge of adrenalin’s rush, an awareness to inflict one’s pain with logic; simple minds cannot crush! They called it religion in the name of; coerced to sacrifice, manipulate, a book of instructions a creed thereof to enhance their powers, stipulate. The human race, each an individual yet herds of sheep reliant upon the Ram, the weakest tossed aside, residual till nurtured re-educated those the Lamb. There are many in his name soil their reputation unjustifiable actions condoned by a hierarchy of hidden agendas, license to continue with savage mutation to aid the evil despot, lord of the greatest of pretenders. Soon this holy mess an ant’s nest deaden although some the skill to explore the stars, man will action his very own Armageddon only to carry on with the emotional scars! © Harry J Horsman 2016

A collection of caliginous angst. We live our lives as individuals. Longing for love and peace. Why hate and harm ever get their way, I'll never know. Peace. :)

Such a lot of image and contemplation you weave through your lines Harry, I know one thing I see as the main cause of world trouble, and its use of 'belief in God' to coerce populations, in short; as fear of invasion is used, as fear of no health care, or hunger is used, or joblessness' In this it becomes a commodity 'and we lose out'

your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!

Yes, we are making our own Armageddon. that is for sure, Harry. Your passion in the things you believe)and don't believe in) comes through so strongly when you write this way, Harry. Keep it up always!

For myself I am not a fan of religion. I am thankful however for the relationship I have with the One who resides within my heart. So many atrocities have been done in the name of God which have nothing to do with Him. Human's have their own agendas and that freedom of will has created much suffering in the world. I prefer my Gods Quiet voice and will ignore all others.
