God Has Left The Building

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

I have asked
I have knocked
I have sought
And what happened?

Nasty men craving power
Turning the world on its head
Hypnotising my neighbours
With lies and spice
To make their empathy dead

They can’t feel my pain
As they mock and they vandalise
They can’t feel my pain
As I pray for my demise

Ask, and He will not answer
Seek and ye shall find disaster
Knock and be filled with false hope
Spending night out there in the cold

This world holds no peace
Will cruelty ever cease?
My prayers go unanswered
Darkness spreading like a cancer

Will I live or die?
Spirits, answer my cry
…
I miss your whispers

…

I used to be so sure

back then

God! Hear my anguished screams

please 🥺🙏

Bah Humbug!

Magna anima

Unum necessarium

The Latin just keeps coming

From the bishop’s mouth

Catholics and their explanations!

Orthodox with their meditations

A bunch of folk from the Protestant Reformation
(Anglicans too, thanks to old Harry)

What are they all trying to say?

Leaders threatening implications

Demagogues with their recitations

Sponsored by the one percent’s operations

Just another brand new day

Explain away the evil in man’s heart

Free will – Adam’s sin

While announcing the amount
from the collection box

Do you really need a pipe organ

When God’s in here?

Religions have lost their essence

The message was always distorted

God made flesh, was still misunderstood

By those closest to Him

Perfect understanding is impossible

Don’t trust someone who tells you to believe
because he knows, because he has seen the Truth

He may have gotten a glimpse, but he’s now lying through his teeth

Or is just completely befuddled

Back to Hell?

My mind’s not quite right
Jumping from night to bright
Mild depression to hypomania
Return to my castle in WTFania?

where the screams of WTF!!! never cease

Duality
Is me
I have not felt this way
Writing the whole day
For such a long time
It should be a crime
To feel so good
But this blog isn’t about that
Touch wood

The dark night
Returneth?
I know it’s coming
I can feel my soul cry
My place in hell
Not of my own making
It is Him

I know why He does it
But I can’t stand it
I’ve been in tranquil dusk
For too long
The glory of the sunset
I must enjoy it
While it lasts
Don’t know how fast
My soul will be damned…
Temporarily

Duality
Remember?

it’s always temporary (I hope)

Will I spend the night searching
For light
Will I spend the night sleeping
In the blight
Where death surrounds me
Can I ever be free?

Am I a monster?
A freak?
Why subject me to this
When all I can do is leak
Blood and ink?

What would it be like
To live normally
Have a family
9-5 routine
Happy dinner time
Two girls and a boy
I’ll buy them toys
But not too many
Don’t want to spoil them

A wife I could talk to
About anything I wanted
And she’d nod
Even if she couldn’t understand
And I’d know
And she’d know I knew
But we’d still be happy
Because the things we could understand
About each other
Were much more important
Than anything else

To have someone I could count on
Who could count on me
Sharing strength
A happy family

Instead
You send me to hell
And make me marry
My thoughts of despair
In the hope
That I’ll find some light there
Or am I just fooling myself
To make sense of this pain?

I know that I cannot be happy
But fooling myself into believing
That I can light a lamp
With a matchsick
I found
While fumbling around
In Hell
May not be so bad

[Poem] Corollary of One Coin

[Poem] One Coin, Two Sides

If,

Axiomatic Truth:

God is Absolute Good,

Then we can establish:

Grace is freely given

To all, irrespective

Of belief.

***

For if:

it is dependent

On faith and belief,

Mental faculty,

Luck of the draw

***

Then:

It is exclusive

To the chosen.

Pre-determined!

***

Implying that

He must also be

God of Darkness

***

***

Believer or non believer,

Their differences

Never really mattered

From the start

***

Enlightenment

Is an open path
