Freedom

international / poetry / post

the Gods came and prostrated
before their maker -- man,
is the creator inferior to that
created?

and so when all the religious and ‘sacred’ texts are read
the obvious becomes known, all the books were written by men
and by consequence all the Gods in these texts were created by men

and so would i pay homage to myself? not likely
that which exists above the gods and man is THAT
which i would honour -- Truth, yes, simple Truth,
no commandments or punishments, Truth
does not punish or lie like man and his religions

to whom should i pay homage? myself, not a chance

Truth is free, unconditional, always available
and forever abiding -- those qualities do me just fine

man in his delusion chokes on all his books
which preach slavery, nothing more,
only Truth sets us free as is known by all
so what is this shit you are trying to feed me today?
