to the sheep
men of God
I retch
seeing you wear that crusifix
around your neck
like you have some secret redemption or salvation
though you live your lives
as "immoral" as anyone else
you think your little club house rituals will spare you
I'll wrap that fucking necklace tight around your throats
and watch you die with your dead God
dangling under your asphixiated airway
wouldn't that be worthy of being written in a book
you dieing for your God
you never thought it would come to this, did you?
well that dumb fuck hung on a cross
apparently for you
though it did nothing
he was just a delusional,though quite charasmatic, man
not a God
so now, you, go
be with him in the ground
with nothing to show or to be praised for your fucking lives
except that dumb fucking cross hanging down
under the strangulation marks
intereo, Deus quod vestri ovis vobis (die, God and your sheep with you)

A wonderful mix of rage and genuine poetry.
"and watch you die with your dead God
dangling under your asphyxiated airway"
That line was so evocative and conveyed so much through so few, the image darkly resonant. And the final use of Latin added a classy feel to the whole verse. True art. Psychotic? Yes, but that's why I love it, and besides, that madness doesn't make the central message any less potent.

took a different approach to this one and didn't bitch at God instead the ones that put him on a pedestal.. it's the idiot masses that listen to and accept the message they're as much to blame for "God's power" as the ones who put the systems of religion into power.. I hate them all.. and myself for ever having listened to such a frail story.

I used to believe in all that shit too. For years I blindly attended sunday school and other little church groups and prayed to the minister's imaginary friend. Thankfully I'm past all that now, though, so now I can just be miserable and hate the world without feeling guilty about it lol

the minister's imaginary friend.. that put a smile on my face.. yes at least we don't have to feel guilty about our sacrilege.. at least we have that..

I love how your poems make me analyse my own choices.. Why do i gravitate to reading your more graphic poems about violence than anything else.. Why do I find them more interesting..

it must be the morbid fascination like most people have.. the dark side.. we both have white and black in us just like the yin yang.. just like I believe Ggod is.. both devil and God in one person.. people eat up horror films and psychological thrillers.. they stop and look at car crashes.. and of course reading and for me writing fucked up stuff.. we're just curious.. some have more of an imbalance in their white or black.. you can decide what my balance is.. or yours for yourself

thanks dude.. I have plenty of rage against christianity and christians.. I was one myself for 25 years.. I was raised in a relgious home up until I was about 12 and my dad was a preacher so I heard the whole story.. and even though I had so many questions about the holes in the story and I was never satisfied still I tried till I was about 25 to be a good christian.. then I stopped denying all the bullshit in it and dechristianized myself.. it took two years.. it was a process you don't just change over night.. but I felt so duped and fucked over with their mind games so yes.. tons of rage towards that whole fucked up belief system.. cheers bro!!
