A poem about questioning the powers that be in this world…

This is only one universe

in many…they tell us how

at a quantum level no one can predict

the path of electrons in an atom

they say it is impossible

I say they dont know God like I do

My question is this

How come at my church they keep singing the earth is the Lord’s

Looks to me like He’s losing ground here fast

Looks to me like somebody’s lying to us

About the true nature of Godhood

There are so many ways this world could end

So much control we gave away 230 years ago

Shadowy puppeteers got a chokehold on Christianity

and a stranglehold on the citizens

Folks turning in for the latest disinformation from CNN, MSNBC, Fox

It’s tailored to their beliefs, a lovely song of half-truths and lies

candy coated to make the horrific palatable

and to let you forget before that show is over

All that is terribly wrong with this current world state

After all, your sitcom starts in thirty minutes

and you received your daily dose of educational miseducation

so you wont look like a dummy at the water cooler

when they bitch for the millionth time that Bush wiretaps really do protect

We have TV blatantly taunting us, letting us know

We no longer have any real say outside of our opinions

And that election day

Is nothing but a show

A chance to make us keep believing

That this country is still democratic

Fear is welling in many

The ignorant populace turn it into hatred for the “terrorists”

fifty years ago they were the “Communists”

It’s McCarthyism recycled

Power hungry evangelists

Usurp more power from their loyal congregations

Acting like tyrannical parents that cajole and criticize

Why do these people act like blind lost sheep

 They never seem to realize that these cats are

not God’s messengers…they lost that ability the day they saw

The control that was put in their hands

and became addicted to themselves

They never seem to realize they have the right to have doubts

To ask questions

To see the flaws in the so called “infallible word of God”

Three recommendations I have are

to lay aside all your crutches

tune into the God within

and realize when the frequency aint just right

This is the best way to fight

These people who are finding more and more ways to put out your light
