Conviction Poems

Excuses

A million excuses.

Reasons of reasoning men.

Amid the vying for

Power and control

Over humanity.

Rule the world-

Or some aspect of it.

Priests in power

From all denominations

Of Belief

Or Non-Belief.


Realities of the

Reasoning Reasonable.

Killing the

Souls of those

They claim to save,

Strapping on ammo,

Destroying humans

In the name of creation,

Or having all

Believe there is

Nothing in life,

Or death, or

Ever-after except

Our own ignorant

Intelligence.


All will lie

To prove that

A closed mind

Makes the best

Citizen.


Armageddon shouted

From the rooftops

In the wake of

Hurricanes

Hell bent

On dragging

Us onto rapture

Or reevaluation

Of the mild southern

Winter.


Since the dawn of

Smartness,

The social snob

Has proven points

Unprovable,

Both for and against.

Justifying horrendous

Acts against

The creations of

The God they

Claim to love,

Or blame,

Or disregard.


One thing agreed

Yet overlooked by

Those evolved

Or created.

There was a time

When we were not.

There was a force

That set life into

Motion whether

From germ

Or sperm.

There will come

A day when

We are no more

And face the

Music of the

Universe so

Intelligently created

In our own words

Of belief.


The facts?

Out of grasp

Of mortal documentation

Amid the hardness

Of the human heart.

Yet, we take

Up arms to

Wipe another

School of thought

From existence

Thus being

The authority and

Once more,

Labeling our

Excuses.
