Everyone Know God with a Gun in Their Mouth

Since I moved to LA everyone one believes in something new. I once argued with a filmmaker who said there was no God, he believed in energy. This is for all the people believing in everything--

Everyone Knows God with a Gun in their Mouth

 

Judas wept.

The C**k crowed three times.

The funeral bell chimed.

 

He said he was Catholic.

Everyone laughed and said he was sick.

For these people who followed the man with the funny hat.

Had three Gods.

Told sins to each other

and worshipped Jesus mother.

 

Then he said he was Agnostic.

 He believed

There was a force was higher.

But his belief in a quote “UN” quote God he would retire.

He said he worshipped Bubba, the chubby little Indian price.

Since India was mostly Hindu I guess they have not seen him since.

He called to Jehovah.

Kirishna.

Did a stint with Kabala.

Was at peace with the Transcendentalist.

Then L Ron and the Scientologists.

Then with it all he got really pissed.

“He said forget it all”

“I’m an Atheist”

 

For this was a thrill.

He would always resign.

That we were not created from Perfect design.

He had such a thrill,

when he would fight to take God of the dollar bill.

“Take god out of everything”

He would shout and sing.

Well one faithful night.

While walking on Main street going south,

 he was thrown to the ground and had a Desert Eagle stuck in is mouth.

Guess whose name he called out.

 

 

Author's Note

I started out doing rhyming poetry. I used to battle in ciphers. a friend suggest non rhyming because he thought I was hiding. I fell in love with Non Rhyming poetry. I am going to post my older stuff up revisiting the form I started with.

Krishna is spelled correct, it's a religious movement after Hare Krishna. If some find "Chubby little Indian Prince" insulting: I'm sure they will recover, it was meant with not harm. Thanks for suggestions, you have the makings of a nice poem.

Of course it did not upset me, thats what the forum is for. Suggestions noted

[Mockingbird]

shows the journey of someone needing to find something bigger than himself. albeit very amusing. i like the irony at the end, especially how he declared himself an atheist. great poem. it's good that you are trying something new as in non-rhyming free verse. great job.

[EMF]

I'm glad you've posted it. A cracking read, with a wonderful twist and a superb style. Great job

[K.C. Zbryk]

I loved the twist on the end of this piece and the ryhme scheme was very well used. Brilliant work and it left me thinking, reflecting. I love pieces like this. Humerous and thought provoking. Great work.

[Rene Velez]

Cool piece of work, no need to explain the obvious, dude but the ending is killer.

[Aidz]

Enjoyed the religious musings of the write, didn't even notice the rhyme so a sign of a well balanced write

[....]

Whoa! such depth and worth a ponder or two, This is really deep.
I like this format you used. You don't have to rhyme to get a point across.
Nicely done I must say...Awesome!

[stars are far]

This was totally writen in a great way..
Keep it up =D

[Kat Wildd]

I love the irony in this one...isn't that what religion is all about? The seeking and not finding? I really like the way it ends :-)

[KT]

It's amazing how some people can change...The last stanza is very true to real life; it seems very hard nowadays to have any sort of religious symbols on anything, because someone will complain about it. :/ An overall very interesting write. Good job!

[TheSweet]

I kinda like this piece, it walks through some religions equally and comes up with a point without being controversial. Though I don't know about every athiest accepting God, even near death :P A lot of athiests are largely more stubborn than religious people - and try to shove it down throats more too.

The only line I don't really like is 'Well one faithful night' cause it seems to be adding flow that wasn't there forefore and sets up the punchline where it doesn't need to. Overall, thanks for sharing.
