Meaningless, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
Take your comic book
Doomsday fatalism
Your childish tantrums
And get rid of them
Rivers of blood
Is all they produce
Your tribal books
Human trash we're reduced
Religion is
Trying to replace
The telescope
With a kaleidoscope
You'd have me believe
You'd have me swallow
Tribal gang manuals
That lead to gallows
Then have the nerve
To rail against me
When I tell you
Our real history
I am not in want
Of weapons or war
For simply saying
There is no more
You take it as doom
But I do not
I simply say
This is all we've got
John sang a song
We can Imagine
To accept Shakespeare
And the words of Sagan
To fret over fancy
To kill over antiquity
To die protecting ignorance
The ultimate absurdity
I don't want you dead
I want the hungry fed
I don't want to kill
I want education to fill
Meaningless is
What we've been fed
Our species killing
Over our protectionism
Instead we could
If we wanted to
Value limited time
And value truth
Our species has
Lots it could do
To improve conditions
If forward we move
To much at stake
For all parties involved
To dwell in the past
It's time to move on
(end)
