So Says Religion

Not understanding needn't be a call to action.
Curiosity, a threat to faith.
Ignorance, as virtue.

So says religion

Listen to the Silence

Listen to the silence
as it sucks the breath from your chest

Listen to the silence

whilst it dissolves you into nothingness

Listen to the silence
amidst your empty, airless, screams

A cacophony of violence, hate, greed, suffering, useless, self-absorbed construct, amidst a background of perpetual, deep, throbbing, silence

Listen to the silence
And know it is your fate
