Life could be totally wonderful if it was not for the greed that creates war, poverty, inequality and environmental degradation. I fear we will destroy it all along with ourselves out of sheer stupidity.
I suspect we are manipulated on many levels by many different groups with vested interests.
The politicians lie, promise and cajole.
The religious indoctrinate with false dogma.
The businessmen seek your gold.
In amongst all this manipulation, false facts, lies, deceit and indoctrination we are expected to believe.
I do not. I am sceptical about everything. All I know is the evidence of my eyes. It is sufficient to inform me that we are being exploited.
I aim
I aim
To speak
The truth.
I seek
The evidence
Of proof.
I want
To live
In peace.
Without
Fear that
This may suddenly cease.
I am not content
To believe all that I am sent.
I am agnostic
About its portent
And content.
I feel manipulated –
A thought
That cannot bear
To be contemplated.
So what
Is the aim
Of those that lead?
Self Gain?
But leave
The world to bleed?
Surely not? But Pol Pot
Hitler and Mao
Tell another story.
They hardly cover the
Human race with glory.
History reveals
The lies
We believe
To be false.
We are
Indoctrinated
With the rules
And beliefs,
Of course.
He who controls
The media
Controls the minds.
We are victims
Of the
Ruler’s crimes.
I do not know
My own mind.
It has been
Otherwise defined.
Go quietly into the market
To purchase all you can.
For the world is a supermarket basket
And a tantalising tan.
Religion is a morphia
Politics a scam;
Life the whole world over
Is based on a sham.
It’s all run for profit
Without regard to the future.
I despise all of it
As I seek a meaningful culture.
In vain.
Don’t give me the religious
Stance as real and meaningful –
Indoctrinated garbage
Controlling the sinful.
I reject its human creation
As contrived and primitive
Attempts to seek power
And apply the inhibitive.
Life should be free to wonder
And delight,
Not a fear to ponder
And an everlasting fright.
Give me life –
Make me free.
All I want
Is to be me!!!

Let us start a new church. One of the blessed observers of bullshit. I think god would attend there.
As a follower? I’m not sure I hold with starting up a new church. There’s far too many of them as it is. We could do with some better observation of bullshit though!
Not follower but observers and pronouncers. 🙂 that would be the tenants of the faith. The best of us would be able to call bullshit on ourselves first. 🙂
That’s cool. Everything I do is bullshit anyway. I write bullshit, think bullshit and see bullshit all around me all the time! Why if we could produce energy from bullshit we’d solve the carbon problem – but that’s just more bullshit!
