Atheistoxity
 
I am a long time browser and I ran across this poem that I thought I'd post here. Enjoy browsing the forum though.

Atheistoxity

What is the purpose, where is my place,
in this planet that's in orbit, a tiny dot in space.

The gift of feeling, do I abuse?
Is there a wrong? Am I that confused?

Why should I try, were all just gonna die,
my body will decay, my loved ones tears will dry.

Why can't I puff a cig, be gay and wear a wig,
thread my vain with a needle, if that's what I wanna feel.

If I can't see, then I can't believe,
what a man can't prove, I cannot conceive.

Simple are my desires as they are relative to my need,
Carnal is my only pleasure, for it's what I can instantly heed.

Narcissistic mind, the book whoring trend
accepting my faults, the only time I spend.

Is this all an agenda? A brainwashing genius plan,
did I plant a seed that can't stop growing, it's hard just being a man.

Theistoxity

What is the purpose, where is my place,
God made it all, and I'm gonna be saved.

The gift of thinking, do I abuse?
Is there a truth? Am I that confused?

Why should I try, as long as I believe,
The God up in heaven, will give me reprieve.

I can't puff a cig, be gay and wear a wig,
God makes that bad, I'll get put in the brig!

If I can't see, then I believe even more,
what a man can't prove, is proven for sure!

Simple are my beliefs as they relate to my need,
Escape is my only pleasure, for it's all I can heed.

Narcissistic mind, the Jesus whoring trend
Me and my kind go there, the place where I want to end.

Is this all an agenda? A brainwashing genius plan,
What if there was no God? It's hard being just a man.

So give me the Jesus wafers, I'm a good little cookie
I'll swallow them whole, and refrain from the nookie.

That change in the rhyme structure is irritating to me. I'm glad Phil's version fixes it.

What about your poem, Wiiiiman, do you find threatening to Atheists? At first I thought it was extolling the virtues of your typical atheist, until I saw the title that had the word toxic in it. But it indicates that atheists are non- judgmental about gays and people who wear wigs, and they are book whores ( whatever that means, but I assume that they like to read ).

I’ve heard Phil say that he thinks homosexuality is a mental disease, which is actually ok. People don’t generally bash in peoples' heads because they have an unfortunate disease. But if you choose to be a sinner, well then. . .

Twisting words is not my game
I was looking to be fresh.
The final stanza I really liked
I thought it would impress!

Shakespeare said that poetry
is music made from words
But rhyming poems seem to me
Like squeezing out some ...

But threatened I am not
And discussion I'll oblige
But you need to write in prose
And bring an open mind...

Wiiiiiiman has been pwned
but if only this he'd knowned,
he'd toss god on a dung heap
and dare take the atheist mind-leap.

(apologies to Phil who really did do a fine job)
