Un-Knowing
Knowing what we know now
How do we unknow
What no longer
Not only
Does not serve all
Bipedal earthling artists
But rather is detrimental
To our divine evolution
The bondage of human suffering
Begins with the bondage
Of human beliefs
Where different sections
Of different sects
Varied by geography
Or imaginary borders
Lay literal claim
To an invisible force
“An energy field created by all living things.It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
Into that of invisible men
That were fabricated
Eons ago to explain
The seemingly unexplainable
With variations on a theme
Of how to behave peaceably
Get along together with
The humility of understanding
Everyone’s differences
Lest of course they differ
……….Slightly………
“Personally, I think it’s a bunch of shit. Well I mean, life is sacred? Who said so? God?
Hey if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death.
Has been for thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, all taking turns killing each other because God told them it was a good idea.
The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question.
‘You believe in God?’
‘No.’
*BANG* Dead.
‘You believe in God?’
‘Yes.’
‘You believe in my God?’
‘No.’
*Bang* Dead.
‘My God has a bigger dick than your God!’
That’s how it is, isn’t it?
Thousands of years, and all the best wars too, the bloodiest, most brutal wars fought all based on religious hatred, which is fine with me.
Anytime a bunch of holy people want to kill each other, I’m a happy guy.”
– George Carlin
.
So now that we know that
Literally metaphorically
Actually and comedically
How do we unknown that
To free the collective
From their suffering
Both pointed and perceived
That we may accomplish
True freedom and peace
Maybe we need
To invent
A global sized
Men In Black
Flashy thing
To eradicate
From our minds
All of the biblical
Mistaken indoctrinations
Like a root program
Imbedded in our
Hard drive of
Illogical beginnings
An irrational flooding
By a supreme being
Guilty of globalcide
Letting the survivors
Divide themselves into
Made up hierarchies
Tribes with violent leaders
Who fought over
Not water or food
But rather because
God would help them win
If they followed “his” laws
Which did not apply to “him”
Guilty once again of murder
Known as filial-cide
After “sending” his son
To teach and guide by example
When that didn’t work
He “allowed” him to be killed
“Thanks dad”
– Jesus Christ
Scapegoating society’s sins
As the bizarre justification
“I don’t even understand the connection with ‘died for your sins’. He died for your sin, well, how does one affect the other? ‘I hit myself in the foot with a shovel for your mortgage’…
– Doug Stanhope
BS like that and all the rest
Has befallen our collective psyche
Causing a whole lot of
Mistrust and suspicion
Simply because someone
Doesn’t look like you
Or sound like you
Too many conjuring up
Similar images of
Omniscient bogeyman
When in reality
All were spawned
From the same
Mother
Earth
How do we not
Know that?
Perhaps because
That is not
What is
Known
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
If we could only
“Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
– John Lennon
