A discrete particle physician

Religious Ruling
Preachers holding open court.
To line up all the jesters.
God's kingdom calls two more in.
The end will soon come.

We can’t depend on

They don’t know the Truth
But they preach for their living
They are now commercial

A Less Fictitious Life
There once was a gal most religious
Whose love for her god was prodigious
She looked deep inside
Found fallacies most wide
She now lives a life less fictitious

The light of first beginning
Still feeds us with love:

As blessed meal of mine.

The sweet grains,

Religious Freedom
The right of every man to follow his conscience
In choosing and practicing his religion
Acknowledgement of religions are not saying
That all religions are equal or equally true

Theologians and Mathematicians by Ron Porter
All of the great religious teachers;
theologians and gurus
of every stripe
try to carry the message,? ?but
all of them are fumblers.
unlike mathematicians,? ?they try
to measure God
using a finite set of numbers.

The meaning of life
From writings of life's meaning
Through the prior ages
There's been discourse by philosophers
And religious sages
Who weigh life
And publicize
What they believe to be its source
In sophistic preparation
For a higher level course

Religious Alert
The temperature plummeted to 26 last night
I figured something like that
When I discovered the cats
On my bed
Together
In fact, side by side
Actually touching;
No batting or hissing involved
So according to Fluffy,
Hades froze over

Not By Bread Alone (Religious Epulaeryu)
O, to sweat, one must commit
For Earth’s scented wheat--
Taste good, even, without meat
Yet live, not by it
Alone, but must eat
God’s fruits, sweet--
Eat!
Note: this Poem is based on Mathew 4:4 CEV

The Dark
Lying on my bed
In the dark
I have no fear
For I welcome
The dark
The black velvet
Envelopes me
Cocoons me
Soothes me
No ghosts, demons
Nor banshees’
In the still of the night
Permeate my darkness
For I’m not religious
I came from the dark
And I will leave
In the dark.

MOTHER
MOTHER
People often cry
And ask when does life begin?
Does the answer lie
With clinical exactitude?
With religious dogmatism?
With legal certitude?
With political correctness, or other?
No, the simple fact is that
Life begins with the word mother

Coffee House
Brushing my teeth has nothing
Over my morning cup of coffee
I do them both religiously.
Having a full cup of Italian
Roast ground for espresso
So strong it could bend iron.
Just one cup to wake me up
Consorting with a donut or toast
An espresso in the afternoon
Just to kick that lazy feeling.

NO RACISM
We have to accept every religion with respect and open arms.
It seem like we are here to eat, make good and then to die;
Getting hate, fighting wars over religious made covens:
We stand far from seeing love, peace or acceptance;
If we can’t live up to appreciate others for whom they are;
Where then do we go?

Unconstitutional
Are you trying to pass this amendment,
Because of religious contentment,
Or are you just scared of your own feelings,
Not knowing what to do with these dealings,
Telling someone what they do is strange,
Seems to me to be a little deranged,
So don't tell people who to marry,
It's not treating some fairly.

Religion
We can understand religion generally
Mean a relationship to what is divine
A religious person acknowledges something divine
As the power created him/her
The world
On which is he/she is dependent
To which he/she is ordered
He/she wants to please
Honor the divinity by his/her way of life

How long have you been religious?
I’m not religious. I’ve never been religious.
How long have you been spiritual then?
Aha.
Do you believe in God?
Of course. God is a force found inside each and every
one of us. It's not omnipotent or miraculous. It's just
that voice that tells you "...GO..."

In Coventry Cathedral
In the Cathedral ruins
The ghosts seem friendly
Pigeons homely, air sweet
Clouds white with a hint of rain
The drops fall on the roofless relic
Like the ancient bombs
Failings of us all
Trying not to be religious
Humanity should think of itself
A bee gathers honeysuckle
People can love

Dolly Parton
I've always loved her music
Her endless beauty and grace
I just listen to "Hello God"
ITears are rolling down my face
I'm not religious
I don't own a Holy Book
I have my own God
It's a different path I took
I gotta tell you though
This is song describes us all
If the world doesn't work together
It will eventually fall

Some people....
Speak in Tongue....
And some speak out
Of the side of their neck'

Some do it to supplement
Their own sadistic

Strait out of the Arm's
Of Pedition

But, when it comes' to Sin

Tapping into Love
So many times our hearts feel dried and withered,
Sick from emotional pain and scars,
Yet, even in its drought,
We find ways to heal the wounded heart,
Through prayer, music and religious verses our neuroses
becomes more controlled,
eventually making us feel whole,
to love the flawed characters in our lives........

No Point
Nihilism cultivated by disappointment
One’s innate desire to find MEANING terminally frustrated
Postmodern existential angst fills the vacancy left by Hope
Overwhelmed by knowing life’s vital substance is so easily reduced to ash
Illusion of identity burns on a pyre
Nonbelief rejects the comfort of religious doctrine
Truth annihilates Spirit

The Evil Winding Road
No more chaos
A little more easement
Levelling to eternity
A spirit befitting all.
Running from him.
Running to survive.
Running from the elder.
I don’t want the knowledge
The knowledge to hasten all.
I am a historian
A scholar.
A religious scholar.
I don’t need this
My glasses fall.
I can’t see.
I can’t read.
Nothing matters anymore.

CLOWNS
Clown's ware makeup,
baggy clothes to
and a big red nose
they honk at you.
Clowns throw pies and water to,
just hope they don't throw them at you.
Clowns are funny ha, ha, ha,
but they have one little flaw,
they think there tiny and there small,
they cram twelve clown's inside one car.
You think I’m joking, go and see,
their at the circus religiously.

Love Changes Everything
First imagination narrows
as your world is being changed,
your outlook becomes different
your priorities rearranged.
Your friends are taking second place
your darkest thoughts have light,
the lonely feelings gone at last
the future's looking bright.
You may not be religious
or believe in heaven above,
but anything is possible
now that you're in love.

God Side
Homeschooling myself. Unknown to you at the time. Sister playing hooky from school.
School she dreads. Both of us hide by staying home and shock one another, facing
one another as sisters, underneath the bed.
We quietly snicker. Faces guarded like Lurch while you were shaking your bum,
showing your god side singing your favorite religious records, dealing with church.

POETIC JUSTICE
In days of olde
Lords spoke French to their king,
In church,in Latin would sing-
Poets,changing this mould,
Their verses,in English did bring.
Note.Poetry & literature in the 1300's helped to coalesce English into a native,nationwide
language by rejecting both the secular religious power of the 'colonial' French of the Court
and 'imported' Latin of the state Chuch

we are a set
The woman that I met
Was religious to the core
Did I love her yes you bet
But I knew she wanted more
And you see my mind was set
So I unfastened all of the doors
What you give is what you’ll get
Same as when it rains so does it pour
Needed to let her free so she could get wet
I was happy to know she was free to explore
To my surprise she never left and we are a set

The Cost of Sins
The most religious among us sin,
whether we are aware or unaware,
God becomes offended by our disregard,
Although we may work hard for forgiveness
and God pays the price,
Human Beings hold on to grudges long
after God has whispered "Let Go",
and the cycle of penitence continues
until the matter has been beaten to death...
and there is no more satisfaction to be acquired.

Above Everything
Above racism, nepotism, communism, sexism,
ambition, pollution, domination, seclusion,
God reigns!
Way above segregation, self-promotion,
physical illumination, elevation,
apartheid, genocide, cyanide, religious pride
God abides!
Floating above Coptic, Catholic politics,
toxic doctrine, elitist foolishness,
putrid imaginings,
God in His Omnipotent Majesty reigns!

Am I religious hmmm
If you are a student of religion
You learn more than just a smidgeon
I would not want to pidgeon
To put holes in your religion
But it is my decision
To go out on a mission
And show an apparition
Can be a beautiful addition
Or maybe cause addiction
To the students of religion
You see that my decision
That each and all religion
Should be left to thier decision
Of beliefs or thier religions

Porcelain Midnight
Indebted to defining darkness
a fortress of pained souls crying a chorus
fearless and bonded by religious rites
reviving the dada movement fueled by absinthe
driven by inertia in absentia calling forth
dementia dripping with sorrow
and steeped in anxiety to say nothing at all
as smooth as glass pitch black as night
my self loathing pity is as to death
as porcelain is to midnight

Bad Medicine
Searching for spirits untold
Held captive by something so bold
Begging to please, to be set free
To take away the grips
That were once pretty
Seeing the world
in black and white
Living in a slum of grey
But the spirits take her
from day to day
Something religious and something evil
Can fool the mind
To find it gleeful
Insanity perches on its brink
The world ending in a song of drink

Truth
You will now please be quiet !
a silence if you please !
no murmur from the cheap seats
You religious types at the back!
Keep your hands in your trousers
Views of truth continue to be debated among scholars and philosophers !
Truth has a variety of meanings
But concernedly about fact or reality
the direct opposite of truth is falsehood
You religious types at the back !
Keep your hands in your trousers

CURBING
It was a lingering goodbye
for anchor moon
after a religious embrace.
I bid farewell
in the chilling night
for a song of separation.
Where the beginning ends
into a house of distillation.
Blasphemy, where did you find
the anatomy of truth ? Mortality
demands a long
journey of tender age in prayers of sprouts.
The eloquence of dictionary
expects the price of hoofs
to stay with otherness.

Two faced.
People, have called me,
many things in my life,
but boring and two faced,
never applied.
I thought I was honest ,
and true,
I admit I am not religious,
like you.
I say, what I feel,
some times jump in,
with both feet,
if that upsets you,
you know , what you can do.
you can add me to the list of ,
men in your life,
who upset you,
and bored you to tears,
and watch the list grow with,
the years!!!

Spell Binding fate
I must confess to watching the history channel religiously
Quite frankly I find it spell binding
It overwhelm's my mind witnessing act's
That become historical documented fact's
And what I am watching is war
Paid for in blood, on the graves of a million tortured soul's
Death's parting gift the gift of sadness untold
Death will never grow old, does not shiver when cold
It just lies in wait under the guise of fate

one and only
you have no idea how much i'd fall apart
if you weren't here in within my heart
you remind me what should of be
if only others could feel and see
you are there when i need you
without you i don't know what i'd do
they wonder how i could be believe in this
they have never felt the religious kiss
he is always on your side
to comfort us when we've cried
he came from heaven to forgive our sins
just open up and let him in

Religious Thoughts
In bed we lay
We don’t speak
I don’t pray
Please don’t freak
I won’t beg on my knees
I won’t justify my sins
I won’t say please
And I won’t sing hymns
I don’t understand this hell
But I don’t need god
I can excel
Without that fraud
I’m sweet as can be
But stand for my rights
I want to be free
Not bound by unseen sights
Not everyone will concur
And I don’t really care
But if you must infer
Of no god am I aware

A Singular Act of Splendor-Producing Makeup Application
A singular act of splendor-producing
makeup application at the tip of a brush
can awaken worlds that confound the imagination
and certainly confound all religious absurdities,
psychologies, and philosophies.
I choose a life that continuously confounds the absolute--
the absolute right
the absolute faith
the absolute belief
the absolute idea
the absolute definition--
by way of joy--
everyday, everywhere.
It's an absolute must!

Thirty Days In The Hole
Stuck in the hole, 30 days 2 go,
One more time, nothing wrong 2 show.
This is a habit, one I must break,
Doing time like this, is hard 2 take.
Alone, no problem, I can deal,
But take my paper, can’t write my feel.
Only read is religious books,
Giving bible study another look.
Still time to wait, 4 P O 2 come,
Once he does, I can go home.
Be free at last, make my own rules.
Will finally be, away from the fools.

My Blood Undenied
My blood undenied;
Though a red lip;
Yet a significant figure;
We are oceans apart;
Waiting to confluence;
This caused by sources religious
view apart;
Which I hear will later confluence;
No response lie in wait;
When all the wishes of the sources;
Arrive at their door step when they
least expect it;
This you tell me in silence;
that the blood undenied will find it's
blood;
I trust you;
The blood of my blood that must
blood;
....My blood undenied
