You disregard the indisputable truth and call it poisonous words

 

You expect me to not expose your made up book of the absurd

 

You were force fed these crazy lies since you were able to talk

 

You were led down this false path since you were able to walk

 

Quickly stick your fingers into your ears so you cannot hear what I am saying

 

Keep your mind confined in the room of stupidity in which it has been staying

 

You are incapable of ever accepting not knowing why things are as they are

 

Untruthful pages ravage and wreck hordes of simple, weakened intellects

 

Conditioned to think they know it all, but it’s impossible for them to think that far

 

 

 

 

Facts and logic are not compatible with any of these nonsensical stories

 

Conceal the plot holes and lunacy while you preach of his detestable glory

 

Humans made God from themselves and their own flawed, evolved design

 

Megalomaniacal, vindictive, destructive and prideful

 

Horrific acts committed that are approved and stamped by cretins as divine

 

Sexist, homophobic, unintelligent and hateful

 

 

 

 

Humanity cannot deal with facing expiration

 

Yet everything living cannot elude dying

 

Humanity created the fiction of the afterlife

 

The foundations of their mainstream cults built on lying

 

 

 

Facts, logic and sanity do not mix with your ridiculous religions

 

Try to hide what is truly dwelling inside, and pretend it’s sin

 

Humans created all Gods from what they are both inside and out

 

Racist, judgmental, greedy and narcissistic

 

Wars and genocide due to followers expunging disbelief and doubt

 

Hypocritical, bigoted, controlling and unrealistic

 

 

 

 

Random, remorseless death and demise

 

Gruesome happenings that are not part of any mysterious plan

 

Accidental terminations that no higher power devised

 

 

 

 

Humanity cannot deal with their fate of expiration

 

As a result they then concocted themselves a Heaven

 

Into a fabricated Hell non-believers are told they’ll be thrown

 

The majority viewing this world as just a throw away stepping stone

 

Into a bogus damnation to make the masses fall in line no one will be thrown

 

The majority merely living their lives as throw away, transitory stepping stones

 

This is as grand as it gets; there is no Heaven waiting for you

 

This is as miserable as it gets; there is no Hell to be flung into

 

 

 

 

We let go of logic when we are thinking of our mortality

 

Hoping for together forever, but there is only temporary

 

Losing those we hold dear permanently is permanent heartache

 

And if we think of it too long it is too much for our minds to take

 

 

 

 

Indiscriminate, unplanned death and demise

 

Merciless happenings that are not part of any foreordained plan

 

Malicious terminations that no pretend power devised

 

 

 

 

Wandering recklessly through our lives that we’re pondering

 

When reality stands in your way

 

When truth clouds over your day

 

Drink and drug yourself into oblivion

 

When truth is too much to bear

 

When reality reveals itself as too unfair

 

Follow an insane, delusional religion

 

Reality constantly glaring

 

Actuality unblinking and staring

 

Left mangled and despairing

 

We find many ways to cease caring

 

Searching desperately in fiction for purpose but still left wondering

 

 

 

 

I wish I knew that there is a hereafter awaiting me and you

 

I wish everyone I love and care for could end up being there too

 

Thinking of not seeing you again causes my psyche to fragment and then plummet

 

Expelling me down into a disconsolate pit even when I had just smiled on the summit

 

I feel like I cannot ever express to you that I love you too much

 

Because I know in time we’ll never again feel each other’s touch

 

I sometimes want to be able to buy these falsifications they sell

 

But I can easily see the numerous faults and fallacies all too well

 

I dream of us departing our lives together

 

And then we would hold hands heading somewhere superior to go

 

I imagine that we could be together forever

 

Critical thinking and reason indifferently informs me that will not be so

 

Innumerable humans view this world as a stop before arriving at brighter days

 

A dispensable garbage dump to disrespect along their putrid, egotistical way

 

But there is no where celestial for anyone to reach when they pass away

 

Earth is as close to a deity as we will ever get

 

Humanity is our planet’s plague that will not be allowed to stay

 

 

 

 

Frivolous breathing

 

Cattle on one another cruelly beating

 

Out of control breeding

Cattle on one another feasting

 

Hiding the molesting, raping, salivating, sexual beasts within

 

Painting over primal, vulgar truths incorrectly spoke of as sin

 

A planet devastated, spit on and used

 

Humanity dismantles its home as it hastily feeds

 

Our race is an incurable, swollen malady about to explode

 

Humanity will always grab for much more than it needs

 

Our hateful, miserable society shall soon implode

 

A planet depleted, taken for granted and abused

 

 

 

 

All religions passing down mythical lies from the past

 

Make-believe places humans will everlastingly last

 

Younger religions recycling archaic fables from the past

 

Conditioning their children so all those untruths last

 

Hallucinating on fanciful faith and mentally marred

 

Into their brains these deranged myths are sewn

 

Irrational damaged goods with open thinking barred

 

They have been trained to not think on their own

 

 

 

 

Fascinating, spectacular nature surrounds

 

Above us and below the ground

 

We stifle the breathtaking that surrounds

 

Obscure the above and infect the ground

 

Humanity cannot face their for certain expiration

 

Humanity created woeful creators of all creation

 

We do not truly live or live in the now

 

Yet we’re hoping to exist endlessly somehow

 

We drift lifelessly through our lives consuming all in sight

 

Yet we want to someday wander into an imaginary light

 

Marking vulgar mammals with illusionary sainthood

 

Humanity does not deserve to survive forever

 

But of course we would believe that we should

 

There’s no hope ultimately for us whatsoever

 

 

 

 

Immobilized minds chasing after falsehoods with useless prayers

 

I wish reality did not contain so much of the heartless and distressing

 

Concentrating on never seeing you once more brings on many tears

 

I wish humanity at its noxious core was not disastrous and depressing

 

A myriad of those waiting for a non-existent place after they perish

 

The magic in the mess of their dwindling lives they often fail to cherish

 

Only during our lifetimes now can we seek forgiveness from the living

 

We barricade ourselves from reaching out due to our many misgivings

 

This is as grand as it gets; there is no afterlife waiting for you

 

This is all there is; there is no pointless perfection to transfer to

 

 

 

 

We are vastly careless with our fleeting, precious lives

 

Counting on a future, fantasy paradise that is nothingness instead

 

Our true nature does not deserve to continue to survive

 

Mystified at specks of glow in infinity while fearing becoming dead

 

We are lost in meaningless tasks while attempting to feel alive

 

Religions have constantly vomited their corrupt fuel on reality’s fires

 

Speaking of Earth as an afterthought that is destined to rot

 

Teaching us that life after death is what should be most desired

 

Denying human overpopulation with idiotic, preposterous thoughts

 

Corroding themselves in selfish, self-fulfilling prophecy

 

Living out what they hear the unsound, imbecilic brains constantly predict

 

Acting out an end of the world philosophy

 

Granting humanity an excuse to accelerate the havoc they’re born to inflict

 

For ages you aided in making this incinerating inferno grow

 

For ages you have helped guide this lethal, festering lava flow

 

For ages you have told them that there is somewhere else much better

 

For ages you have told them that Earth unequivocally doesn’t matter

 

For ages you have told them to multiply and spread the vile disease of mankind

 

For ages you have slithered across the lands while murdering and stunting minds

 

 

 

 

We are evaporating

 

The thought of never embracing you again is traumatically debilitating

 

Our love makes me yearn for a great beyond to reunite in after we die

 

Our time is evaporating

 

Our bedridden civilization is flatlining

 

Humanity’s defiled, spoiling well is running dry

 

Our existence is rapidly evaporating

 

Ourselves and our squandered lives we’ll soon be annihilating

 

We have this sole life on Earth to look into our love ones’ eyes

 

Our time is evaporating

 

No immortality

 

We are evaporating

 

No eternity
