Classy Blasphemy

write please read and enjoy

A rocket exploded in South Texas

left a reaching inferno from the base of petty worship

a god whose hand fell on no one, touched their eyes

pray in solitude, your words aren't worth it

just look for your answers in the skies,

where is your orbiting warship?

Imagine, invent and innovate on ancient lies

a better tomorrow, aim your arrows

in the machines mankind deifies

all of this squalor beyond the visible spectrum of light

is the reaction and consequence of what people decide

long to believe in nothing, demand proof by tangibility and sight

long to have faith in something, devote yourself by proxy to the discourse that causes deicide

there's always a holy something to fight, there's always satisfaction in taking side

all my cosmic gods and all ancient gods, pagan gods, all the gods of fiction and all the gods of tradition

all the minds that strive for enlightenment, worshipping education

scientists and philosophers, who are all pious in their own way

all the void and defiance, the uncertain and indifferent

launch and land and relaunch yourselves into life every day, make the most of flight before the ground interrupts your stay.
