Hobgoblins scribbling down the form of their preferred afterlife With a promise to burn for voicing contention As seven billion minds try to reach an aggregate faith We frolic on the edge of oblivion The flock disintegrates into a carnal cabal Present tense convictions ablating epiphanies Polarizing attitudes prevail (And the rest can go to hell) "The fire and the flames will burn Both wet and dry together" - Muslim proverb May the Buddha smile upon our folly today God sees fit to allow 30,000 children to starve to death every day The protocol of loss is a sophisticated kind of treachery Laced with random acts of kindness, a deceptive ministry, indeed "Judge us by our charity, not the millions that we bleed" Cunning acquisition of the moral high ground Then regression into consensual idiocy Disparity nested in ambiguity We are each accountable for our own Delusions and episodic faith Forgive and forget assumptions of propriety So billions are damned to everlasting flames? Condemned by being born into the wrong theocracy The sickest of fantasies! Praying for another's misery I find no solace in your decrepit prophecies Your fables hold no sway over me "I am terrified by the eternal silence of those infinite spaces." - Pascal And in summation you will find as equations align The absolute value of faith was a negative Charlatans of hope breathing meaning into a drowning mind Gasping for truth Managing god IN ABSENTIA My moral entrails spilled by the scathing acceptance of promises That would wither a lesser deity than you Two billion vote for this god A billion favor that fraud With mutually exclusive salvation Still everyone is mystified by these unholy savage numbers Yet the significance of ONE remains The progeny of priests are these everlasting savage numbers The sacrifice of millions for nothing Once upon a time-like loop, love was providential There was no god to deny us our potential History cannot erase these savage numbers Oh, let us pray to resurrect our sanity Dedicated to the late, brilliant, and most rational Thinker of our time, Christopher Hitchen
