Zilch Reasoning

Mumbo gumbo's

blind faith

deepening cynicism

in metaphorical

meaninglessness

of judicious social

twaddle's protocol,

they ask, “have you

found Jesus yet??”

'I hadn't a figgy scooby doo

he was lost...'

nothing happens

for a reason

aside from the seasons - -

children starving,

wars in the name

of ungodly religions,

poverty

exponentially rising,

mother earth is crying

middle class is dying,

whilst dogmatism

& the nefarious

masses thrive


there are virtually &

literally nor otherwise,

zero, zippo, nada, concrete

reasons why_

'hear no evil',

mere riddling 

rhymes make naught

a minuscule bit

of sense

Cool doesn't even begin to describe what I just read, actually the opposite would apply better, heated works well I think. You have touched, no, slammed a plethora (you like that word?) of subjects in that very unique style that I have come to enjoy so much. There is so much truth in your words, blindly we go because we can't see past the rhetoric. Really heated (cool)

Very passionately expressed, Paloma. Your poem is unrelenting in its truth bombs against the hypocrites of religion. They love to say, do as I say. But don't do as I do. Your voice is a powerful one. You are blessed to have such a gift. Love you always. RW

So much to ponder about here, so much pain in this world indeed.. and in these moment Jesus is not lost..We are lost in our selfishness of a world...We dont need to find Jesus, because He found us first, We just need to find ourselves and ask What can we do better? Thanks for this i trospective poem, Excellent indeed, made me question my faith ,nt knowing if i find an answer, Awesome.. I needed this.

This is more than a poem , I'm not sure what the word is, but it's an instant classic I can envision students studying in a not so distant future while trying to understand how a society could self collapse which contained folks capable of so eloquently speaking on its behalf such as you have here. I was going to print it off and put it on my desk but the printer is way in the other room and it seems to be offline and my little legs don't quite the energy to walk over there presently. 7*9999
