how many roads must a man walk down....
too damn many it would seem.
how many times must the canon balls fly...
we have guided missiles now.
every day there are new and improved ways to torture, maim, murder, mutilate, cripple....not just people but the earth itself.
how long can we treat the planet we live on as though we have someplace else to go?
every generation thinks they have seen the worst of times & that surely the end is near. armageddon, apocalypse, the end of days. all of the major religions have different predictions as to how this will occur. each seems to hold the belief most dearly that "they" are the chosen ones....the ones who will survive, ascend, live in peace & harmony while all others (non-believers) suffer & perish. then there is my personal favorite....which christian church is right & which is doomed?
seriously people?? creator of everything according to all the different religions this crazy planet holds is that small? so small it can be named & labelled by humans? such a fragile little ego that it matters if we get the label right? only ones who have free will in such matters apparently. us??? please.....no. we are not ready for that much responsibility.
of course this all presupposes that we are alone in the universe. something i very much doubt. go to the desert or out into the middle of the ocean at night. count the stars.....go on...i'll wait.....
couldn't do it could you? duh. now do the really impossible. comprehend infinity. dare ya.
now science is even trying to say it all had a beginning & will someday have an end. the big bang theory says the universe is expanding & that eventually all the stars will die. so far apart that all will be dark.
really?? infinity?? no beginning...no end. dumbasses. the universe isn't exploding or expanding forever. ever occur to any of the so-called genious types that it might just be breathing?? expanding....contracting...expanding...contracting. there will, of course, be somebody who tells me i am wrong & that all the scientists must be right. really?? prove it.
prove it...prove it...prove it!
that is my new motto for it all.
the end is near.....prove it.
your religion is right....prove it.
the rest of the world's religions are wrong....prove it.
the universe is dying....prove it.
the universe was born....prove it.
there is only one god....prove it.
there is only one truth....prove it.
believe me when i say to you that there is not much i will accept as proof.
many religions believe faith proves them right....faith cannot prove faith.
books, religious or otherwise, are written by humans. frankly i don't think this species has proven itself all that damn trustworthy. i have often thought an invasion by aliens might do us some good. maybe...just maybe...we might stop drawing imaginary lines all over the planet & calling them borders. but then again....
there are aliens out there....prove it.
life originated on this planet....prove it. (maybe we are the aliens)
the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.....
that, of course presupposes the wind is real....& that there is an answer.....
couldn't prove it by me.
