Faith Be Gone

A poem of hope for a new world

Faith be gone

Faith you fatal flaw of men,

it blinds the eye,

it is the fuel that fires

the abhorrent conflagration of cognitive dissidence.

 

Metaphysics as a complete school of thought

baffles me,

scares me,

subjugates mankind, corrosive thread.

 

Espousal every Saturday and Sunday

Illusion centered in guilt and pain,

discontent, puppeteers for the uneducated

yet even the educated can be controlled by fear.

 

Why can't we see

a new time,

a new age,

where known's are truth

and understanding lights the path.

 

Can we sustain,

spare each others limbs

just long enough

to open our eye

and let faith defined

be faith in mankind.
