Question Of God

I question God;

Not the existence of,

But the singularity of his being.

Might We not be God I ask,

Creators of this world, this reality;

All of us, the collective,

Our spirits, our hearts, our souls

Forming order out of this presumed chaos,

Though perhaps it is not chaos at all,

Rather a mysterious perfection.

It diminishes not our desire for God

Nor should it be thrown into oblivions pit.

Instead it should be sought after with fervor.

Where though, lies the question.

Religion begs us to look towards the heavens,

Drawing truth from books transcribing God through man,

Placing faith in idols and symbols,

Traveling down another’s path,

Still answers are as void as those of the godless.

Perhaps our quest has been misguided,

Perhaps we have been intimate with God all along

But did not recognize him when spoken too.

Blinded by our perceptions of the outside reality,

Ignorant to our inside spirituality for fear of damnation,

We look for what we already may already have…

I ask, couldn’t we be God?

One created for myself

Existed within me

Born before my date of birth

In the universal mind

Dismissing Destiny

By D. R. DiFrancesco

~~~~~~

To face the truth

One must face what they fear most

What’s uncomfortable builds character

Strengthens every fiber of their being

You cannot grow physically or spiritually alone

Cradled in your convenient cocoon

To break out and take wing you must fall

Close your eyes

Step over the edge into the unknown

Destiny beckons you forward

Choosing to live life in a net of safety disappoints

Conceiving regret as it’s progeny

This is not living, it is merely existing

We are meant to do and become what we dream

No boundaries can contain you

Was not every great achievement born of an impossible vision

Laughed upon by those with no imagination

Dare to persevere

Do not let those of a narrow mind stifle you

Your greatness lies on the road just ahead

In this you can be assured

Piety and Hypocrisy

Father, Savior, Lord, Jehovah

Faith in the unknown

The eternal struggle never ceasing, never compromising

What to believe, that is the question.

Eons pass, bloodshed abounds

Differences mediated through conflict

Crusade or Jihad, neither is virtuous.

Blinded by rightousness, no one can see

Their lives spent and lost in pursuit of utopia

Yet contentment in this moment is never realized.

Is this the end to which the righteous aspire?

They gather in the name of peace

Projecting their false tolerance

A show…insincere in all its pageantry.

Beneath the surface bubbles hatred and hostility

Vowing to disencumber this world of the other

While smiling and greeting with a warm embrace.

Is this what the supreme being wants from us?

Are differing opinions to be snuffed out?

Our traditions say yes with a deafening roar.

Are not love and charity mightier than the sword?

More palettable then pain and suffering

To say yea would be only logical.

Still man endeavors to distort the infalable word

All for his own selfish devices

Leading the unquestioning flock to slaughter

Mindless and oblivious they follow their master.

To petition for truth, is construed as heresy

Faith the only path to eternal salvation

Yet acrimony toward our neighbors persists.

Does prejudice or averice have any authority to prevail?

An emphatic no should be the only a reply

If common decency were the essence of all relations

Peace and harmony would be all that exist.
