Not Just Another Contrarian
I do not want
People
To question
Their beliefs
I want them
To put them
On a coroner’s slab
As most beliefs are
Deceased anyway
Slice them open
Peel back
The many layers
To see why
They have atrophied
For utter lack
Of meaningful use
Parroting
What group think
Thinks
Accepts as
Being okay
Contextualizing morality
Under the content
Umbrella
Of
If it feels good
Do it
Or
Turn a blind eye
Because
It is not
Happening to you
Replacing
The golden rule
With
He who has the gold
Rules
I thought
The ditto-heads
Were extinct
Turns out
They morphed
Into parrots
Squawking
What the fox yelps
Without substance
Only fear
The sun
Neither
Rises or sets
Just no words
To describe it yet
Ones that would bring
Clarity
Of our place
In the cosmos
Instead of
An egocentric center
Guaranteed
For self destruction
When the reality is
We are all on
The same spaceship
In need of
Repair and adjustment
Heading in the same direction
While foolishly believing
We are
Of a race
A religion
An age or
A country
When detailed
Examination shows
We are bright
Sparks of the divine
Burning quick
Individually
Still
Never losing our heat
Or
Infinitely bright radiance
The unanswered question
Remains still
Yet elusive
Where do
These words
Come from
How did they appear
In this order
Poured from
A brain blender
