The Bet
Me and my god, we made a bet and if I was right he’d clear me of debt That pain was in-fact inherent to men That hell was a place before their was sin I spoke of war, what man’s will had brought to Eden and Rome, the battles they fought How freedom was gained when kindness was...

Premium Member The Holy Land
The land is soaked in blood and tears the hate is very old Like all the ancient stories in the Holy Bible told Each vows to kill the other asks their God to make it so Their vengeance masked as prayers consume the Holy Land of woe No leaders can convince them their hate like a disease There is no cure for this old...

When Holy Hands Drop Bombs
What makes it okay to bomb a nation? Kill so many who don’t have a station? Destroy a country, cities and families? Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies— Who never chose this war… suffer again and again. Across the globe, a catch twenty-two Do what I say, not as I do. What happened to the Fifth Commandment?, In a world where religion is...

Piloting My Own Corpse
The world is quiet here Yet growing louder by the day Renting paradise from vultures Split amongst two flavors of instability I clamored and dreamed for that golden armor That title that would cement my name in history To be a "hero" to someone I'd lose contact with forever Scars fade, and eternity is short I saw my dreams given flesh No gaps left...

When the church said pray it away
When the church said pray it away When the church said pray it away To the elderly woman Who lost her whole family Not from just a gun But from the system holding one She had prayed And prayed And prayed For her family's safety And do you know what God did He committed the ultimate sin He killed them But It was...

Who benefits from my belief?
Who benefits from my belief? Because the last I checked it wasn't me I mean I am a black girl Living In a racist misogynistic world Because why would I worship a god who allowed my people to suffer Yet caters to the needs of our oppressors Allows them to call us s Why would I believe Why would...

The Third Option
There was a dreary blip in my life I feared two depressing outcomes The first, hell I separate myself from societal pressures I accept who I am I let go of all that abuse that has kept me who I was I let go of hiding behind a hundred carefully tailored masks Just so one may approve of me But in return I risk...

Identity and the Mirror of Consciousness
Before the emergence of consciousness, we were a reflection of God. Afterward, unable to perceive identity through internal reflection, God became a reflection of us; Consciousness splitting the mirror - Two hemispheres asking: “Who are you?” 'but no mirror can reflect itself— so in the fracture, identity becomes alienate, externalized, some "Other". Yet, even in this exile, our human identity remains, only a single facet...

ABRAHAMS CHILDREN
Abraham’s children the power of three. Grew like a big tree. Some were weak and died off, others grew like a huge garden and made it all the way to the top. Some were kind and loved each other, others killed and lived only for themselves. God gave us his laws from Mount Sinai...

Temples of Profit
They came with robes and golden rings, Not to heal — but to own sacred things. With Bibles bound in blood and silk, They turned living water into poisoned milk. Altars became ATMs, Forgiveness priced in tithes and gems. Salvation auctioned on Sunday screens, While hungry mouths haunt shattered dreams. They preach of heaven, sowing fear, But drive their heaven in Bentleys near. They claim...

God of the oppressors
I dont believe in God Why would I? No literally Why? Would? I? I dont believe In this so called all loving being That doesn't treat everyone equally Because when has he ever helped black people We never received equal treatment At any point in history He is all powerful but couldn't stop slavery Or wouldn't We are...

Premium Member IrReligious MisEducation
S/he is controversially counter-cultural And yet, MotherEartha defensively claims, not so: We grow trans-regenerational transubstantiating substances and subjects to integrate more sacredly organic Positive passions re-connecting re-membered past peak pleasures restoring universal EarthJustice and unitarian EarthMother peace. I stand before you today not to bury every conservative re-ligion but to praise our natural SunGod history. Rising from East and setting West indigenous mystery traditions, re-ligiously enlightening experience has always defended human longing to more resiliently remain in...

Premium Member Shelter From the Storm
Inspired by Bob Dylan's Song: Shelter From the Storm The world offered him pleasures his heart could not resist He needed some salvation yet his vices did persist He had to find some shelter Shelter from the storm He went to see the preacher, to listen to the word But the preacher's pocket was...
