iis there a god
is there a god
who claims to love
yet glories sacrifice
of the young
the poor to benefit the
one percent
is there a god
who claims mercy
yet rewards genocide fratricide
homicide
is there a god who
speaks of peace
yet exalts in war
as long as it is his his name
is there a god
who says all are sacred
yet stratifies the
haves from
have nots
is there a god who
loves his disciples yet
allows them to be tortured
crucified
martyred
is there a god who
is consistent fair
just
loving
or
is it just bullshit
crap
created by the powerful to
appease subjugate and oppress the
weak the trusting the
obedient the believers
is there a god who
acknowledges
imperfection and exonerates
honest mistakes
yet
punishes those who claim to be
righteous who claim to be
followers who claim to be
leaders when in reality they are
self-serving greedy lustful
gluttonous
morons
are there people who
recognize
who are willing and able to stand
their ground to pursue
higher values to take
risks for the better good
or are we
just sheep following the unworthy
to slaughter
if we are married and bear not fruit
is the marriage sacred
if we are married and live in hardship and pain
is the marriage blessed
if we are married and yearn for another
is the marriage failed
is marriage divine or a human invention for
consolidation of power and wealth
is love divine or do
we decide to love
is love sacred or do
we decide who to love
is love infinite or do
we claim love for a limited time
is love special or a
common expression of something mundane
is love
or
is love not
what is love
love is bullshit
love is crap
love is fantasy
love is delusion
to love is an
action a decision a
choice
i choose to love.
what about you?
i remove my shoes to
become grounded
i strip to
connect with the air
i fast to
acknowledge nature
for without ground without
air without nature
i die
but without
love
i suffer
the choice:
to suffer
or die
