Atheism Poems - Poems about Atheism

Gods are online
The gods are online today, Updating their laws like software patches, Fixing glitches in heaven while we glitch on earth, Typing commandments no one reads, Uploading sermons no one feels. They scroll through prayers like spam emails, Ignore the bleeding body in the dirt, Reward the loudest liars, And punish the quiet truth. In their group chats, They laugh at those like me — Broken ribs,...

Lola's fingers tremble 'round her beads, Her lips move, soundless prayers; While outside, weeds Push through cracked leads— Life finds a way, who cares? I can't grasp their dread of death, This urge...

How does it feel to you when presidents proclaim anthro-supremacy exclusively made in one universal God's straight WesternWhite monotheistic over-Capitalized and stealth-marketed kleptocratic image? How might this have felt comfortable and uncomfortable across centuries of Western straight light-skinned male monastics expecting historically salvific privilege? How might this orthodox Tradition feel to leftbrain verbally dominant scribes? interpreters of ancient language translators manipulators of symbols More modern manufacturers monoculturists monotheists Aging and vulnerable royal monopolists of...

She is anxious Like the rushing wind She bleeds worry Because she fears within She is insecure, an exposed doubt Vulnerable to rejection, to the Unlocked shame, regret So dark it has no name She is afraid to listen To the sunlight and the stars As they dust her feelings With gentling whispers, kisses Like reflections of kindness Wonders dancing to the silence, Singing grace over the night Releasing...

Cosmology and Scientists On My Mind
Earth has no special vantage point Even in the Milky Way village We see as we would from Andromeda Scientists do measurements, math But none knows the when, why, who? At the start, before Laws, before big bang Now, if expanding universe, speeds up too The when and why become clearer After the first quarter of 12 billion years The mass in dark...

Shrine
Eyes wide in wonder I entered the chapel a curious child through the back door of the church candles twinkling in the dim light streaming through the stained glass like colored candy like lollipops statues of saints standing sentry in silence staring soullessly I startled for a moment as I thought I saw one move an illusion of light and shadow from the flames...

Human Nature Doesn'T Change - Viii
VIII. Chris had done lots of studying in school, and then logically came to understand that there was no deity in this world, there was just matter, life, and then humans. And for several years this just simplified things, he felt smart, and could see the world with reason, even felt bad for those folks ‘trapped’ by faith, would often joke about them...

The Fervent Atheist
She left the tent in holy fervor, Hell-bent to spread the Word. The Spirit moved and made her quiver; No act of faith was too absurd. She knocked on doors, she spoke with zeal, Her faith she shared in earnest. There was no doubt God’s love is real: His justice is the sternest. I asked what other gods contend For space inside her pretty...

The Bigman
The Bigman When you speak to The Bigman don’t mention me I don’t know who I am yet, so please When you do they prayers you were trained to believe Don’t mention me He never helped when I was down and out He never came was nowhere to be found Though I prayed most minutes of every day for Him to stop by or at least keep me...
