Dogma Enigma

When the pedophile is god
and genocide is good 
when caring for the other
is a never not a should
when race is a weapon
and gender is revoked
when science is blasphemy
and climate change a hoax

Resist the urge to reason
you will just be labelled woke

Karma Dogma

If intent and actions
are cause and effect
and influence the future
what you give is what you get
and yet
what about children
caught in the crossfire
when very young
murdered in man's mire
they have not yet begun
to live
and love is all they have to give
so much for karma
symbolised by the lotus flower
but whereabouts is it
in their most needed hour
forsaken by fortune
they

Premium MemberThe Jewel Of Jesus

A polytheist would argue
just one God
That there are endless guards
and many rods
given these wards
With many temperaments and aims
devotion for a supreme being
Compassionate gods spread
charity, clarity’s 
light and goodwill 
Whereas others spread hate,
blood still spills
Relates—mayhem and darkness
The God of the Old Testament
unforsaken is the nakedness
not ever to turn the other cheek
not even for the meek
He portrays

Dogma

For there is no love in dogma and no dogma in love. 
Love yourself and you love God.
Love thy neighbor and you are the dove.
Enlightening others as a golden rod.

For there is no God to find, for God hath not know the hand of time.
No righteous path exists, only staying present in the mind.
Will ground

Premium MemberThe Soul of Man

There's been a subtle, yet powerful undercurrent,
    That forms faith and peoples belief.
        With roots at the core of civilization,
            Causing both struggles and further relief.

Today's religion has become a point of contention,

This World of Life and Void

Brothel of delights
Temple to serve men and gods
A bridge between void and light

Playground of freedom
Church of law and God's judgment
A bridge falling into void

Dry Canals of the Gathering

Those who crown themselves with miters and croziers 
Are dry and barren canals to which I shall describe 

Boats remain frozen in their abandoned and void place 
The waters being a simulacrum of doctrines 
Only the arid wind gives a sense of forward time 

The bubbling and fizzing spring they cut from themselves 
Those who

Premium MemberGlorious Truths

Tossing and turning in Whitman’s grass,
Breathing every fervent loving sensate,
My deliberate doubts, you may bypass, 
To obey the certainty of Christian dictates.

To some, my probes attack settled law,
My queries are grounds for execution.
I don’t mind those symbols wedged in your craw.
I just seek truths instead of words well spun.

Truth travels in a continuous passage,
Skipping along

Betise

Blunt brain such stale dogma holds
Tighter than crags hug dewy molds; 
She spurns sparks Reason confers, 
And terms sanest wit profitless fuss. 

Sweetest rank her outmoded views, 
Above strictest sense and full clues; 
Cherished most within inured cloud
Are her trite thought frail and proud. 

Proffer sure-shining cachings of gold
For faintest morsel of heresies retold, 
And

Dogma Incarnate

Religion in practice…
arms length from God
Close enough to see,
never to touch

Single lens focus,
vision for sale
Dogma as deity
—conscription at birth

Dogma Or Mystery, Part Two

It's ironic that 'dogma' simply once meant belief: something we hope is true but aren't certain of, as opposed to a fact. Now dogma means doctrine, something taken as fact and NOT to be disputed. Unfortunately this mindset has damaged religion, especially the monotheistic faiths, turning off millions seeking profound meaning in their lives. It
