Silent believer
came with grave fear
over folded hands,
praying to
the imaginary man in the sky.
Talk, but he doesn't hear you.
Ask, but he doesn't care.
Listen, but he isn't answering.
Foolish. Pathetic. Mockery?
Fuck the book
the quotes
the psalms.
Chanted are vivid requiems
written by blind eyes,
sung by the brainwashed prisoners,
slaves of their own fate
tucked away near dusty rosaries and
a cross in every room.
Prejudice, fearful,
and close-minded
giving hope to the hopeless
taking away your right to fucking breathe.
Sinner.
A sinner is but a human,
a human is but a life,
a life is wasted,
wasted as a sinner.
WE'RE ONLY FUCKING HUMAN!
And we're forbidden to live.
Do not preach what you don't understand.
They don't listen.
LISTEN.
He isn't going to answer.
Silent sleeper,
came to grave hopeful
under folded arms,
wasted life given to
the imaginary man in the sky.

Because God is a def-mute.
Plus, have you ever talked to a bush on fire after not eating after several days/nights? Sounds trippy. -

deff makes me think.

interesting poem got me wondering and curious -
wow, this was simply amazing, i believe you hit this perfectly, the flow was wonderful, and i must agree, he isn't listening there are so many things people preach about that they do not understand or better yet preach to the sinners,yet sin them selves, temptation can not be ignored. wonderfully done Ker. <3

Maybe it's us who aren't listening, my Friend. After all, our heads are filled with noise. Good luck in the contest, Sweetie.
