three voices

we march amid a bleak postmodern world
of technology
the redolence of smog and acid rain;
we love to smoke and snort into a world
of fantasies
in ketamine and coke there's no disdain

Can this technology be nature's death
or can we take its spot? Can we evolve?
Does nature want man to progress alone
or trust in worn tradition to survive?
The world has held our hand along the road
of evolution, yes; but are we not
evolved enough to operate ourselves?

we're hedonists 'cause ignorance is bliss
indulge in pleasure, run away from pain
this is the life
we hate the truth, it shows us that we're dumb
we're scared of turning into fat old nuns
in brain damage we trust
these drugs will bring us lasting happiness
'til overdose do us part

God did not create this so it's wrong
technology is ugly and it's wrong
muslims jews and whores, you guys are wrong
your homosexuality is wrong
the bible says it's wrong which makes it wrong
the word of God is never ever wrong

Go away, conventional conservatives!
This false invention you call "dignity"
is your excuse to live in ignorance.

my friend OD'd and then he passed away
let me drink and smoke the pain away
these drugs were good but only while they lasted
should i have had a different way of thinking?

we can't evolve; there is no evolution
only creation; God created us
He wants us to live for Him
in a prude mask of "dignity"
God created us
we must waste our lives on Him

We can't prove your god exists.
We can't prove anything exists.
Only your mind exists.

so my mind is all that's real
and it happens to have faith
and yours, all this obscenity--
i'm ashamed, where's your dignity

But what is art's advancement
but obscenity trials
unconventional storyline
experimentation and
the destruction of tradition
tradition, tradition, tradition
do we evolve past that?

. . .

la la la, creationism!

Author notes

This poem expresses three different mindsets--two of which I don't believe in, for rhetorical effect...yeah, it's very lucidly and annoyingly to the point.

I mostly wrote this for fun but of course I'd want your opinion

    Splendid

    You might have written this out of fun but it was excellent. My favorite stanzas were the first three and the last one. Keep it up. This was truly a work of art.

  • Preach the gospel LOL!

    I hate conservative Jesus BS. If something goes wrong lets blame god makes no sense to me at all and you captured that very well. Until we accept responsibility for the actions of mankind we can never progress to our new state of evolution. If your an atheist your in good company great write!
