Belief. Believe. I want to
Believe. I have to believe.
In Gods. Or God. Or the
Buddha. In aliens. And
Ufos. Something. Any thing
To believe in. To distract me
From The cold hard
truth. A bright light.
The promised Land.
Angels. Sentient
Beings. LSD.DMT.
All to distract from
The cold hard truth.
Death. A trillion miles
Away. Out there. Nothing
But blackness. And the void.
Awake at night. Fear of the
Dark. Of the truth.
Life is meaningless.
We are animals.
Consciousness a
Cruel trick.
The illusory self.
Spinning words.
Make belief.
Made to believe.
To follow.
Institutional.
Delusional.
Order.
Decay.
The false dawn.
A summers day.
Flowers bloom.
A leaf falls.
It’s crystal clear.
I am alive.
I have a life.
Some are murdered.
Others are rich.
Dirt poor.
Mansions galore.
Tigers win.
Mice follow.
All this rings
Hollow.
Burp. Fart.
Tweet. Poop.

The Mad One
They say I am mad.
Put me on medication for
My strange beliefs.
ET as my saviour.
Conspiracy theories
A greater truth.
While they kill children
In Palestine. Kill
Babies in Iran.
The mullahs even
More insane. Religious
Murder.
I inject my brain
With beer and pills.
To block out their insanity.
Dressed as humanitarian
Intervention.
Billions of bombs
Dropped on defenceless
Countries.
And I scream for God!
The Buddha!
A UFO!
Please save us
On a placard.
They lock me! Up.
Dress me down for
My insane ramblings.
There are psychos in
The white house!
They eat babies!
Calm down.
It’s all a dream.
Medication to
Placate you.
You’re the one
Who is insane.
Don’t you see
War is like weather.
Murder a cup of tea.
It’s been the fashion
For centuries.
Get in line 1,2,3.
Join up. Here’s a gun.
Die like a hero
Under the sun.
They don’t hear
The screams from
Their luxury yachts.
They push buttons.
Issue commands.
Ruled for centuries.
Darwinian.
Oblivion.
