God's Replacements

Nietzsche declared that God is dead
Since thoughts of Him man’s heart has fled.
If it is true that God is dead
Let hearts of men be filled with dread.

Once God had died the race was on
among the gods man’s mind would spawn,
which one would fill the space God left?
Yea, who would occupy the cleft?

The no-God notion tried

The Replacements

If you like Keanu, you’ll love The Replacements
‘bout an ex-football player who's into effacement.
Called back to the big time when A-listers strike,
it’s got some great scenes that I know you will like.
I won’t spoil the story, but the cheerleading’s hot;
QB Falco’s the real deal,  and Martel is not. 
Wiry Nigel the kicker will have

hoping for finger replacements

mothers hands were claws in the end
crippled from arthritis
in sixteen years I will be that age
I test my appendages daily
looking for signs
hoping they will have finger replacements by then

Pre-Replacements

I bought a new pillow
But you may behold,
In back of my closet,
Where I hid the old.

My chair pads were faded;
I purchased a set.
Did I ditch the first ones?
I haven't quite yet.

My glasses, old-fashioned,
Looked blah on my face.
My new ones sit next to
The old model's case.

Replacements look spiffy,
But part of the deal
Is chucking the old stuff
That's

Replacements

We make it in digital so that nothing real exists
Beyond the firey belly thought horizon
Far beyond the fraudulence of existence
Numbers and symbols form and this replaces our language
The heart is gone, nothing but rom and unread messages
Cold to the touch and anger replaces our moral ethics
We make it in stereo so that we know it

Replacements

Night envelopes too soon,
And circles round again,
Replacing sun with moon.

It makes no sense to wonder why,
The daylight leaves one all alone,
Or why the Truth yields to the lie,
Or why a heart becomes a stone.

The Replacements

sense when did Isreal replace the Nazi's as 
an evil oppressive regime
how in the world did it let APARTHIDE! 
become it's terrible theme
why are it's officers acting like
the old German SS
terrorizing citizens, women and children
in distress
aren't they the people who from Egypt
God set free
who from time to time, God reminded;
foreigners are just like me
aren't they
