Nothing More Celebrated



Today it seems,
More are becoming participants...
In activities of returning,
Revenge with an aware consciousness...
To do unto others.
Done with an ignorance.
Celebrated more.
Before thinking to use common sense.
Gone and nowhere kept to keep,
As a weapon more powerful...
Than seeking to destroy,
Humanity and all religious beliefs.
Many heard to claim,
They follow faithfully!

'Uh...
Isn't that nothing more,
Than a celebrating hypocrisy?'

'Stop pointing out the obvious.
Hush up and listen.
At least pretend it.
Even the speaker has paused.
Let him continue and finish!

'I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE.
IT'S THE NEW MEDICATION IM TAKING.
CONTINUE.
GO ON.'

'Are you satisfied.
Now he's got everybody's attention.'

Apology accepted.
Where was I?
Oh yes.
As I was saying...
On top of the list to prioritize first,
Is hypocrisy displayed as if to thirst.
Who deserves,
A proving themselves more blessed to be...
Receivers to take away,
From those who choose...
To live peacefully.
Without being told how they should live.

But these days it seems,
More who say they pray faithfully.
Have taken it upon themselves to interpret,
God is in their image to worship and praise.
Yet...
Evidence and proof of this,
Has nothing to do with truth or reality.
But that to fiction and delude,
Is more a selling of deception.
Sold to perceive,
Whoever has the ability to create havoc...
With powerful weapons.
To divide and conquer,
Over whose beliefs for them is their reality.
That can destroy 'everything'.

Including the lives of human beings.
And that,
Should be proof enough,
As to who God is and what God does.
With a capability no one left,
Will oppose or deny the effectiveness of it!

'Whew!
And for this you convinced me,
To stop smoking weed?'

'Well...
Did you learn anything?'

'Yes.
I certainly did.
I should have never stopped doing it!
But...
I'm willing to bet,
Whatever that dude is on...
Has not been legalized yet!'

'Come on.
Let's get outta here.
You've already embarrassed the both of us.'
