Thinking
of the christian god In attempt to understand his
charm The mass fascination A being described in outdated
tomes Ideas built from older tales Why humanity feels required
to judge our souls by this reference And not burn every record of
it For all the pain and suffering
it has wrought Organized religion such a beast So much life lost in it's name All in attempt to belong Be alike
A singular entity has come to
dominate Due more to destruction of the
competition Than honest virtue Contradict them and be killed A reoccurring nightmare All in his name
At this time remember a lover Remember the one you hold most
dear in your heart The one whom you have not seen
in years The one who has no bad memories
in your mind Only thoughts of joy and happiness The one that if you could be
with again would never let you down The one you will always love Who in your heart will always
love you The one that all your friends
adored The one that only gets more
perfect with time The one you wrote for Created for Inspired you In your eyes they could never
do wrong
They are in the past Never to be seen again In this they are safe Free to become anything you
want them to be To be put up high on your pedestal Their vision will comfort you
when no real person can
This is the christian god Taught from the beginning to
be a fond memory Untouchable Unseeable Only to be felt Perfect because you make him
so
What bliss Discovering that he left behind
all his powerful poetry Like the artifacts of that lost
lover But god's words are more eloquent Like Shakespeare
Because they are
This they adore Written and rewritten To be perfect Every line And they are great words But only that Words
Christ?
I believe he existed I also feel he would be in horror
of what has been done in his name
Many great women and men have
existed But in past the world was smaller Not so many voices Not so many ideas Not as easily heard
These great inspirations All shared a love of fellow
man A desire to do right Be just They tried to foster belief
in ones self Their methods varied Some used symbols Others intangibles The goal always the same Respect your fellow man Be true to your heart Do the best you can with the
life you are given Your actions in life will have
consequences long after death
The last point being a key to
much dispute How to drive that message home How to enlighten the savage
beast that we are Instill that understanding So developed punishment and
reward Do good in life Or face the wrath
By this time the populace had
grown Our planet began to fill with
voices So loud they muddled the words
of visionaries New methods to convey the ideas New means to distort the message A constant process Driven by the primal hunter
within We all want to succeed Why not use the truths that
appeal to every soul Add to them the laws that benefit
you Awaken the unholy into new faith Bring yourself power in the
process
Yet through all this The hearts still contain the
truth This is why I always ask to
believe in yourself long before any book The great teachers Christ, Buddha, countless more…. Are easily found Their written history always
speaks of soul, love, and heart They are long dead and can not
sit before you to convey their one message Their secret to finding them Look inside In your heart you will know
what is good One that follows their heart
is a follower of all religions To follow your heart is to be
holy in any visionaries eyes There is no need to define what
this means Contemplate it Look for yourself When the light from within is
reflected in the world around you That is when you know That is pure faith Choose to put a name to it if
you will Yet that discredits the sensation
by calling it something it is not It is only truth of heart that
can set you free Every great teacher knew this They felt it Tried to instill it in all those
around them Do not let the lack of vision
of other men distort your view Just trust yourself
