Empty words in a universe filled by emptiness

Satan does not exist until you believe it,  
but when you start to believe it...
(Papus)

 
The same goes for God?
And what about hate?  
love, life?  
or death?
(I wonder)
 
In which of these things  
you do not believe?
1) Satan  
2) God
3) Hate
4) Love
5) Life
6) Death
Please specify the numbers
and fell free  
to play to the lottery
If the universe is a gamble
reality is surely an invention
 
Someone believe in all
If one does not believe
still effected by them  
way of being born
in a spiritual vocabulary
or the stark science
hidden behind
the gospels' contradictions
 
But if not through
suffering or delusion,  
then we are affected  
by the absence  
the horrifying
absence's glorious extent
of wonder
and its possibility.
 
I cannot own the world
still alive in good faith
I think it is mine
but is not mine
we are product of love,
or a display of hate  
maybe the teacher  
is not yet finished speaking
Just observing our cancerous cities
from space, waiting  
 
For the moment,  
there does not seem any progress
which is what makes life  
well lived and without end
 
Only thoughts from my  
struggles with faith
Empty words in a universe
filled by emptiness
