Mind Consuming

Diversions; onslaught on my mind.

Changing pace, a speeding world, spinning by.

Life.

The in-between.

Death.

A consistent pattern, unstoppable.

Interchangeable, no resistance.

Life.  Death.  The current onslaught of my mind.  People drop dead left and right, all around me, all around you.  Across this spinning world.  Unforgiving, irresistible pattern.

Heaven; Christianities place of hope.
Hell; for us sinners
Limbo; where the ignorant go.
Reincarnation; a second chance (but possible not an enjoyable one).
Nirvana; for those freed of suffering.
Eternity; the amount of time we hope to have.

Proof.  None.  Just the need to believe.  Even thinking that there is nothing is believing in something.  We all need hope.  In the unexplainable, couldn't be's, and shouldn't be's.

Who's your hope?
God?
Buddha?
Zeus?
Anubis?

But for the non-believers, who do the place their hope in?

You see, this has been on my mind.  There's so many things that can't be proven, just guessed upon, and not even touched upon.  Haven't you ever thought, what if everything we know is wrong?

The world isn't really spinning, our minds are.  They're just reeling.
Starved to know the truth, just wondering.

God, do you exist?

I just had an urge to go back to my own personal style of writing. Hope you enjoyed it.

Intriguing and thought provoking. You made my mind start working harder. I like the style you put this in as well. Unique and choppy, but in a great way. Great and interesting piece.

I enjoyed reading this poem. It has lots of questions that can't be answered and yes all of us want to believe in something. I think that is human nature. I myself believe in God. the flow of the poem is different but I liked it very much. I love the unique style this poem has. A wonderful topic to write about in a poem
