From a seed of a thought that germs into being
They grow, steadily and mercilessly
Both devious and insidious
An idea
...
Faith, collapses beneath reasons weight
Crushing those who stay in its walls
And ignorance seals their doom
when they refuse to move
...
Send it to a Gulag at the bottom of the world
Then throw it into the dustbin of history
Let it rot stinking in some high security vault
Abandoned behind steel eating its own misery
...
Patriots are the thugs of fascists
Becoming devoted servants
Willing to commit evil
Loyal without mercy
...
Holy Mary was a woman of stoical convictions
Spent 80 years of her life as a dedicated Christin
Eighty years of celibacy when her only man was Jesus
pure of mind and body and free of the best diseases
...
We can know longer pretend to believe
That we live in a society that cares
We can know longer rely on authority
That applies more force then we can bare
...
Shame... is the name of this game
And I'm... too tired to play
The rules... are always changing sides
And Hunger... eats away at my Pride
...
When I'm alone
I can be happy to be myself
And when I'm sad
Then I can only be sad with myself
...
I'll steal your prescription for hope
and spend your innocence for dope
now I'll crush, your lotus syllabus
Muddy your charm for sins indolence
...
More deadlier then a yellowjacket
They sting you, purely out of willful spite
Drawing on their reservoirs of malice
Foaming through their needled aculeata
...
The voice of reason
Is drowned out by the mob
That lynches itself
into ignorance's grave
...
Hi This is Kevin Patrick, I cant seem to get into my other account as poemhunter seemed to have it deactivated it so I set up this one.)
Ideas
From a seed of a thought that germs into being
They grow, steadily and mercilessly
Both devious and insidious
An idea
A spontaneous spark, ignites from one person
From their words and their writings
Create a fire unstoppable
We then shape them and contort them into
A thousand variations and
Endless mutations
spreading, like a wildfire around the world
From one man, to another, then another
And another, endless reactions
Rapidly metastasizing like a never ending virus
growing inside of every mind exposed
Creating the world they see
Religions, Nations, philosophies and all ideologies
Beliefs becoming creeds and testaments
That turn into weeds for reason
The most dangerous weapon, is not a sword
A gun or a bomb, its from the mind
ricochets around the world
A person can die and become forgotten
Buried under the weight of time
But ideas don't die
They percolate into constant change
Becoming immutable substance
out of ourselves
from ex nihilo
Into glorious fiat lux
Ideas are the immortal virus of thoughts
That shapes the universe into us
