the lusterless god

the lusterless god

A Poem by delapruch
"

buck up & admit it.

"

imagine for a second

that all the hogwash bullshit fiction

spun by you spin doctors

whipping up your religions &

churning your lies like

butta,

was scientifically proven tomorrow---

imagine that the proof that y’all needed

to rub the faces of all us nonbelievers in,

was right at your fingertips &

there was no longer any debate left---

would you be satisfied?

 

you know that you wouldn’t.

 

you know,

as well as i,

that the bullshit that you believe in

has no basis in reality &

by that very notion,

you parade your certainty with

“faith” & not reason,

“miracles” & not evidence,

etc.---

to have proof of all the ridiculous crap that

you have mustered over the years

would take away your magic.

 

all the shiny mysteries &

all the ways of seeing, relative to only your own

specific

little itty bitty place in the vast universe,

would mean nothing &

a lusterless god

would be the one that existed for your worship.

 

how would you deal with this thing that could be

reduced to mathematical proofs or

slimmed down & diced up into little pieces

which could be examined with a microscope?

 

buck up & admit that what really matters

is that what you say you worship

what you say will save you

can never be characterized by any

tangible proof

because then, it would no longer have the

power

that you think it does.
