the enemy unseen.

their idea of god is blasphemous.
to insinuate that the original
cosmic blast of breath
which knows nothing
outside of itself
would
have
jealousy or contempt,
would reap vengeance or
instill fear, blasphemes the nature
of an entity
that would create such a thing as
evolution.
a laughable thing, the idea that
our evolution would exist outside
of some creative idea.

this notion that we should repent,
to string together silly words
that ask for forgiveness when we'll
do the same thing again given the chance.
being sorry for what you've done means
that you're repelled from doing those things again.
forgiveness happens on a personal level.

we have to get away from
blaming everything
on god.
we are the evils that we see,
the pain and suffering,
the greed and contempt,
the hatred and denial.
there are those who would be very
frightened
if we were to ever look
at ourselves with blame.
torture in the name
of god
happened
by the hands
of man.
witches were burnt
through the emotions
of man.
corruption happens
in the minds
of men and women,
bent on some illusory idea
that they are the
direct voice of god.
the wars,
the troubles,
the rape,
the molestation,
the fear,
the hatred,
has happened
by the wish
of humanity.

it is our choice to
live life
the way we see it.
it is our doing, every point, every mistake,
every deviation outside of nature.
we are
the enemy,
unseen.

don't blame god
when you see
an asshole
being an asshole.
blame the asshole
for adhering to the ways
of an asshole.
for we
are the enemy
unseen.
