Vent Your Spleen

a good conscience from a bad vision

in time will sour all

prayer, the bible, ancient history

your priest. . . the pedophile

decadence

guilt

exploitation

they make a fine morality of coercion

control and obfuscation

via delayed threats and unknowable promises

ugh...

these are all just human creations

from superstitions

a group's explanation from ignorance

ancient around a campfire

and now?

welcome to modernity's perversion

from a great thirst for power

now comes coercion

sir spirit of control

and neo exploitation

it's all there is

now

just humans

in decadence

making up s**t 

controlling other humans

for unsavory reasons

so vent your spleen

against the world 

rail at the "gods" 

feel no guilt

and be rage filled

toward everything you think is wrong

feel no shame

for no gods are watching

waiting, for sin, for piety

know there is nothing

know that no one else can save you

but you

Powerful work. Really highlights the faults of the human condition. Scary faults indeed.

Like the poem. Really great job.

well the last two lines sum it up nicely ... in a world of so many billions, only a handful will ever awaken, in in the absence of awareness we can start with self and love X
