will it be the strongest or the patient that wins in the end

I find myself wondering about the prospects
that all the gods are dead or have given

up on humanity
bless me father for I have sinned
my last confession was

then you read in the morning paper that father 
was just caught molesting the alter boy 
another one of the ones who preach
in the names of the father son and holy ghost

just which one do we pray to anyway a ghost ? 

I refuse to be led by the faithless who are just
impatient with the inconveniences of people questioning 
their interrupted ideas of immortality

blessed are those who can still believe in something 
after all the evil they have seen
their god abandoning them to what may come
people dying unjustly as they deny a dire tomorrow

I tell you, do not resist an evil person
If anyone slaps you on the right cheek
turn to them the other cheek also

I'll be damned if I turn it twice

every religion born of man ends up
where they're raping plundering 
and killing one another and justifying it 
in the name of their god

what kind of god condones that ?
I believe in a higher force
but I don't think it gives a rats ass
about our day to day lives 
or the beliefs of man's right or wrong
like the beasts of nature we just struggle
day to day 

will it be the strongest or the patient
that wins in the end

Not Redeeming Quality

All newborn babies cry

couples fall in love

there are first times

and new beginnings

there is forgiveness

and reunions.

.

All elderly humans weep

and dream of glory days

and teach the young

and hope hard

and feel the pulse of all

humanity running

through old veins

that are wisdom

cast and filled with joy

owning hearts

overflowing

with beauty.
