In a state of disrepair...

How many false sentiments
are contained under
an umbrella
of God?

I do not believe
such is my choice
it is not blind but reason
which is really as blind as faith

If the old face of firm belief
has destroyed a million.
I am only one cynic
who is harmed?

One book
misread enflames
the ignorant made willful.
Ideals are made missiles thrown

Well then we all tumble and fall.
So I choose my own lie
and I make myself
God.


"The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun."

sometimes I am a believer of nothing

and it suits me well at the time

At times I feel this way...
And at other times I'm not so sure.

Nice write!

I like the directness and honestly you've penned here.  Certainly, this is the biggest question we face on our journeys.

"One book misread enflames"
excellent line

but I do add,

read correctly, and it inspires.

I continue to be captured by your work. Keep writing, and I will keep reading.
