you can have your
sky daddy or
smiling fat man
or trickster coyote
even nature herself
whatever you desire
as your system
of belief

belief is
beautiful

i don’t believe
in anything
it didn’t feel
as much like a
choice as
my logical outcome

honestly
the idea of an
omnipotent
omnipresent
being always watching
terrifies me
as much as it
confounds me

everyday is
a challenge enough
to the concept of
free will
but if anyone
is already aware
of the outcome
it isn’t free
it is rigged

i just don’t need
anyone else taking
credit for my mistakes
i earned each scar
and learned from
the occasional disaster

but i have no desire
in ruining belief for
anyone whatsoever
it just isn’t for me
the secret is that
believing in a higher power
doesn’t mean you get
a pass for being an asshole
same with not believing
basic consideration
should be the standard
understanding and respect
should be shared

whoever is right
won’t know until
they are already dead
so wasting a life
arguing ambiguities
just seems silly
