AMEN

 

When all is said and done
Please believe me
There are no Gods
Not a one
Simply none
For we made god
In our own image
Can’t you see
God is not infallible
That’s because
Man is fallible and
God is a construct
Of the human mind
And nothing more
He is us
Is humanity’s need
To explain the awesomeness
Of nature and the cosmos
Man’s inferiority complex
Feeling oh so small
Feeling insignificant
Mainly because
We are

But
Man’s need for wealth
Need for perverted sex
Need for the power over others
Invented god
Invented religion
And oh how the elite
Have fed high on the hog
The strong prosper
The weak are victimised
Witch hunts
Crucifixions
Beheadings
Inquisitions
Burning at the stake
Torture
Murder and war
Invasions
Crusades
Jihad
Mass graves
All evidence that God
The Supreme Being
Is not here and with us
He is us

God is not evil
Allah is not evil
Buddha is not evil
But their creators
And their leaders
Clearly are
There is nothing
In this rotten, ugly
Shit stained world
To praise or
Give thanks to
No chance of rescue
Or salvation
All prayers unanswered
There is no heaven
But there is a hell
It’s right here
Cleverly created by
The god inventors
Preachers and Imams
Priests, bishops, popes
And the religious
We are alone
We live alone
And we’ll die alone
No gods
No masters
Now can I get
An AMEN!
