Pious Deception (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Religion

is the death of God

conscripting Him away

 

Cloaked in false

propriety

enlightenment at bay

 

Religion

is the death of God

scriptures to mislead

 

All piety

a false disguise

worshipping the creed

 

Religion

is the death of God

whose armies rage and burn

 

Killing

in the name of One

—whose love they claim to yearn

 

(The New Room: December, 2023)

 

 

Knowing Is Believing

 

If your heart

stops

Does consciousness

die

What life

connected

Can

death untie

Forever

a concept

As still

unproved

No one

to comment

Who’s left

—the room

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
