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

I do my best to stay away from religion. I been to 40 countries with the Army. I saw the many kinds and I respected each belief. Religion is hard. People believe in things. Then can blow someone head off for disagreement or different in level of belief. Sort of tear down the power of most beliefs. I like your poem. If God is around? He must be trying to blind his eyes from the foolishness of man. A very good ending to a outstanding poem.

Agree with Ken - brilliant and incisive, even a touch ironic, but excellent all the same.

[Kenneth The Poet]

I'd probably say the same thing if I was in his position. Powerful stuff, man.

[EMMIE]

rhyming or not you still get your point across so this is a very cool a very unique piece. Good work!

This has a rhyming scheme, but does not scan. I like it, because I like rhyme, but this form is more free than scanned poetry.
