The Athiest
How human
is human nature?
Alas, then, is nature
by default also human?
Human not soulfully enliven?
Just deposed products
of the same, natural
mystery?
So, is Nature or Man
to blame? -- is it devil
or God
or simply
the pollinated seed
perpetually alive in every
duplicating spontaneous
naturally manipulated oblivious
spiritually vacant pod?

God Is a Flat
Dead and distant.
Someone's personal best friend.
Don't say his name, don't draw his face.
He or She or They are an A Flat or a B Sharp,
or a thought, a spark, or a coming together,
Everything or nothing at all,
or love.
The beginning and the end.
The Alpha dog the scruffy human pack seeks,
roaming wildly in the quest for answers.
God

Greek Gods
How fast they fall
from the heavens
pounded to stone dust
a culture of thought
reduced to tzatziki sauce
stare at the statues
of broken leg and limb
this empire is dead
the next one too
on and on the merry-go-round
spins
the last tango is never in Paris
just ask Napoleon

Genesis of Doubt
Genesis of Doubt
Oh darkness, may you be a product of the deceiver, the enemy.
I tremble at your thought; resultant nothingness is terrifying to me.
May that nightmare be a shadow that fades with faithful days.
May that pure light be hope, not simply a depleted and dying gaze.
Dear Something, Dear Anything, give life to this metal

Not Privy To
A well of knowledge we're not privy to
The Atheist fills with ridicule
Construing God as something else
While their Spirit longs to find Him
Their common sense; so critical
An insult to demand proof
Yet Jesus traced His scars with Thomas
Are we again to crucify Him?
Some allotments have been Biblical
By no means limited to
If all our hopes in Him turn

The Athiest
The Athiest
I was born and there was no God in sight
Was he taken like a thief in the night
At night passed on a blinking light
but not enough to stir belief
My parents felt the same as I
except to mention pumpkin pie
it evoked a spirit with a taste
when they devoured it with haste
denial made me curious
to traverse

Untitled 3
Of soldiers
And patients
Of the committed
And convicts
All their prayers
Fall beneath the floorboards or reach the surface
As roaches
of the empty room
who scatter when the lights come on.
But there is no score keeper to put them on.
Didn’t you know that redemption has
Always been just a rumor
And never payment to some trickster God
Who wrote the scripts
To

An Athiest Prayer
I harbor no resentment in fact the opposite is true
For what is really meant is that I care about you
Polar opposites are we in being so very far apart
I just want you to see what is truly in my heart
I mean no harm in any of these words I speak
For you could bet the farm

Abberance of the Athiest
A brand new clock with all new resolution i wish to buy
From the eight hour of midnight to the arrival of dawn i'm all awake
The soul speaks in darkness and whatever echoes from there is
Never to Abhor
Never to be aberated by whatever is around
Never to be an abator
The mind Abjure's & the soul takes

Skool of Athiest
It was my first year of school
my was I the fool
I still laugh and think how cruel
but instead I'll think twice
and pretend it was nice
After all it was the school of Christ
The priest that had taught me
Gave me a crayon and fought me
To color inside of the lines
And when I questioned why
He looked at me
