Notes About The Poem

Seeking Truth

Look inside
hide not in fairy tales
the universe is protons and neutrons
there is no one God in the sky
seeking divinity, with boiled blood
fantasies and fables become undone
humans are a speck of dust
whatever illusions create your exotic desires
whatever
the creator will not look at your garden
he will see into your heart
that black holes do indeed
exist

No loving eternal father would make his children burn endlessly in fire. This i strongly believe.

Arthur, as one who does not believe in fables either, I also believe there is too much order and beauty in the world for it to have sprung up spontaneously without real purpose. I love the deep and sophisticated way you wrote on this topic. although I do not accept it. i agree with someone who commented down here on the evil done by the religious. Some of the most horrendous examples of brutality and bigotry have been exhibited by religious zealots, and this hardly makes a case for their beliefs

Excellent existential poetry, Arthur. A veritable atheist handbook guide for an innervision journey. Your sharp pen pricks the staid POV's. Very thought provoking write. Love and smiles and smiles of joy.

Free verse must be your forte, Arthur, because this poem takes a powerful swing at our lack of significance in the universe. This would make a great entry for the "Atheist" contest, if it hasn't already been entered. For me, faith and science coexist, but I can certainly understand this point of view. Awesome, my friend. Keep writing. Hugs, Carolyn

I have known hate and seen it hide behind religion, its very evil and bad and I am glad you have shined a light on the truth, peace and love x0x0x0x0x0x
