"A Recipe for Antonym"
the opposite of
didactic
ulterior motive
Elastic,
bend over for receiving
patronising missives
presumptuous, friendly and deadly
with lol and smiles
then genuflect
then somersault backwards
it’s part of the ceremony
in the soupy wash
Socratic passive is us
plastic, pernicous, piquant and plural
sipped slowly and loyally steadfast
scratching backs towards the shadows
of whispered never me's (sic)
to mirrors gushing sibilant soliloquy
the opposite of lost is now moving in
with a bent halo
and sewn off blunderbuss
inscribed on the handle
I’m sure glad I'm not one of you us

The human antonym
Buddhist, but maleficent
Losing,but triumphant
Home, but astray
Articulate, but nothing to say
Achieving,but no ambition
Trusting, but full of suspicion
Cold hearted, but devoted
Political, but never voted
Lazy, but overworked
Level headed, but berserk
Lacks talent, but a numen
All of the above- a human
When hate is love
When up is down
When hot is cold
When young is old
When boring is fun
When drunk is sober
When high is low
When wake is to sleep
When us is now her
But antonyms are sometimes needed
Because hate needs love
Because up needs down
Because hot needs cold
Because young needs old
Because boring needs fun
Because high needs low
Because wake needs to sleep
Because you thought you were over her
But I knew you weren’t
We were just antonyms
You were the cheat to my loyalty
Every minute a race against the clock
Tick tock
My future always on the chopping block
Tick tock
Make sure you do this
Make sure you do that
It'll all get better someday
As they say
But will it
I don't know
I guess
Friend
accepts, protects and makes you laugh
until you discover that's not so...
Foe
Okay, so most of us are either atheists or belong to some kind of religion, even if loosely. The religion likely demands that the convert love and respect the deity, therefore making the great majority of theists eutheists.
With that out of the way, has anyone ever even met a misotheist?
What's the deal with that?
We see the crossfire between christians and Good Prophet Dawkins followers on youtube comment threads, but you just don't hear about misotheists.
They believe in god, but hate and distrust him.
Christian misotheists are aware that they are going to hell under their understanding of the world, yet are resigned to this fate due to their personal moral code not to serve a god they believe is evil.
I don't think there are actually any misotheists. Just hipsters who might answer censuses with it, and list 'domestic partnership' as their marital status.
If there was one, though, I'd like to meet him. That's one badass motherf*cker.
*Footnote: I googled 'misotheist antonym' while writing this.
I miss you,
You threw me away,
Away without a second thought,
A thought about how I'll hurt,
Hurt like the five other girls you played with,
Without a goodbye you left,
You left with cruel words upon your lips,
Your lips I've always wanted to kiss,
To kiss so tenderly and heartbreakingly,
And heartbreaking is all I feel,
I feel your eyes upon me as I pass,
I pass like we had no past,
Our past was one big lie,
A lie you gratefully tell,
Tell to anyone who will listen,
Listen with open ears,
With open ears I hear,
Hear all the tall tales,
Tales about you and I,
I being the less fortunate,
Fortunate is an antonym for you and I.
Each night I fall awake
a good days sleep before I wake down
I'll pretend and make the smile
upright into to a frown
You ask and I'll get down for you
and stand perfectly wobbly
Meet you on the shore with the sand
so smooth and knobbly
Light
flourescent, incandsecent
Glowing, burning, illuminating
Guides like a star, Shooting through the sky
Reaching, longing, ending
Shadows, blackness
Dark
