in church there is abandonment,
the absolute faith of the believers,
the need to find an explanation in the heavens,
never seeing the stars,
to completely surrender to,
believe in,
something so imaginary,
to trust the writings of people,
too ignorant to understand
the mechanics of rainfall*,
to sing and pray to,
bow down to nothing,
something that
could not be omniscient
and therefore could not be
(look around at life
and its hypocrisy,
its inhumane-ness)
according to buddha
once you know you are nothing
life is nothing
and then you are free
and happy;
the bible says
thou shall not kill,
but most people aren't listening
she believes life is nothing
but beautiful and ugly
kind and horribly cruel,
she does not kill
any of god's creatures,
she is humane
and tries to be omniscient
maybe she is god
* 'too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall' accredited to Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
