Faith & Belief
Faith and belief
Are as tantamount
To one word cliches
As luck and coincidence
.
Faith is hope
With a
Religious disguise
Outcome determined by
Luck and coincidence
.
Belief is an acronym for:
Beings
Eviscerated
Living
In
Eternal
Falsehoods
.
Yet it is difficult to prove otherwise
For if you believe in something or
Believe something w/o questioning
It becomes petrified as fact and the
Calcified content replaces what is
Indistinguishable from its origins
Save that it is now rock hard and
The manifestation of what it is
Has nothing to do with its formation
Either passed on from
Generations past or
Printed in infinitely
Vague interpretations
.
“You know there is a living God that will talk directly to you – not through the pages of a Bible that forgot to mention dinosaurs.”
Bill Hicks
.
What is written in your heart
Supersedes anything that was
Written by men, obviously men
That for a millennia was
Regurgitated orally then
Transcribed variously from
Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek
Then each successive language
Used by those holding the reins of power
A simple tool to manipulate masses
Using fear magic & future threats by
Visible and invisible matchstick men
