Crossing The Sahara , Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter) Inspired by Dodosaredead.
The apologist's dissertation
They tout as truely amazing
But it really is nothing more
Than mental masturbation
Tedious it becomes
Wading through that wall
Giant wall of text
Like a snail crossing the Sahara
Void of any substence
Hardly explains anything
Airid mirrage logic
Fantasy still convinces them
They sell a butterfly
In reality it is a slug
Pour the salt of harsh logic
And soon it is all gone
Despite it's stubborness
Always slow to change
Our species still advances
When we question everything
Like a snail crossing the Sahara
It is worth the effort
To challenge mythology
To escape the the empty desert
We've escaped belief in sun gods
In favor of solar pannels
And we wouldn't be modern
If we didn't challenge all others
I still value the good
The empathy in my species
But religion is slow to change
And clings to absurdity
The Sahara is War And Peace
The tribes of antiquity
All want a piece
Justified by mythology
And I am crossing it
Watching everyone present
Their hollow disertations
Mere mental masturbation
Heat beats down on me
Not because I'm wrong
But I've called out superstitions
Whom wont last that long
They think I'm one to sweat
To die a lonely death
To suffer eternal torture
I challenge all of it
The street corner huslter
Selling the fake Rolex
The fake Gucchi bag
Out of the trunk of his rusted Honda Civic
10,000 years we've had
Since our first written words
It seems pretty selfish
Petty, cruel and absurd
If there really were
Someone helping us
You think it could do better
Than to leave you in the desert
Airid of any logic
Heatted left with fighting
10,000 years of murder
He won't step in to solve it
Tedious it becomes
All the different dissertations
All the flavors of apologists
Know they really have nothing
Like a snail crossing the Sahara
I can find my Oasis
In the arid land of theology
I reside in the bounty of science.
