Religion Poems
The Cathedral Builders
by John Ormond
They climbed on sketchy ladders towards God,
with winch and pulley hoisted hewn rock into heaven,
inhabited the sky with hammers,
defied gravity,
deified stone,
took up God's house to meet him,
and came down to their suppers
and small beer,
every night slept, lay with their smelly wives,
quarrelled and cuffed the children,

Well of Misery
by Sameen Shakya
Many make pilgrimage here, wishes in tow,
And the number of coins at the bottom
Could make a poor man rich, but little do they know
This is not that sort of well. A rotten
God has made its home here. Each wish
Corrupts, doubles the pain that the wisher
Has sought to wish away. But this twist
Never seems to become a clear picture

Mental Tectonics

I
cranial overture delirium denial remarks hues in a silhouette receding in clouds of narcosis surge illumination thrusting toward death blind orgasms of hate pictures devoid of form celluloid marksmanship motorcade waving white womanly gloves ejaculation angels volcanoes surreptitious sex change amphibious pose mushrooming mendacity miracles ivory grace smiles
II
death’s archangel rhymes Akashic verses discarded deeds a decapitated rooster bleeds coagulated brutality creaky dedication a brass statue salutes air is an instrument of breadth knots inside Celtic symbols pagan Christ fornicates under a moon’s dream portent irradiating idiosyncratic destiny rippling in a child’s scream caskets and corpses float atop a murky river

Sa-tan 👹
by Edward Amaro
I'm an evil man. I really don't think ya'll understand. I'm that person y'all call sa-tan.
Sent from the universe to inflict as much pain as I can. Like mold that grows and hides in dark holes without a soul.
Blind with no track of time, eager to enter the body like a fever. Cancer is my only answer to man, now y'all starting to understand.
I've just known
by Ibtissam Ibrahim
I've just known …
for the sun set in my lips
A thousand wishes fade away
And for yesterdaypresent
in my language
Million letters die
And The ceiling in my isolation
likens Sona's terrain *
I've just known
God becomes more compassionate

Grace
by Kurt Behm
The farther I get from religion
the closer I get to God
Clouds blown free—new imagery
a seed in Heaven’s pod
The farther I get from the papal bull
the closer His voice I hear
Grace so blessed—divine GPS
directions loud and clear

Human (2/23/2022)
by Leo/Ella Reznikova
I'm neither good nor bad, I am just simply - a goddess.
I am not to be defined by primitive words like that, my existance stands above, stands beyond verbal confinement.
My reason - is not to be understood, unaffected by complexity, I am beyond human understanding. I am just simply on another plane of existance, a different dimension, I AM - the fourth dimension.
So kneel - and bow to my divinity. Pray to the ground on which I choose to walk, and accept Me-
As your absolute.
