    Two Poems - Silence and Religion

    SCIENCE

    Mother Nature.

    She lies in bed with her legs spread,
    Her feet tied with abrasive ropes.
    Man approaches her with intent of Progress;
    Ejaculating his developments
    Into Her unfeeling womb.

    She gives birth to a hybrid--
    A being whose natural laws
    Are defined through humanity--
    But this debauchery defiles Wonder
    And through the propagation of humanity
    Destroys what gives life purpose.

    RELIGION

    I believe in a god.
    I believe in One God.
    I reject the existence of other gods.
    I reject anything proposed against my God.
    I speak the truth.
    WE speak the truth.
    We reject anything proposed against our God.
    There cannot be any disproof.
    THERE IS NO DISPROOF!
    I reject anything proposed against my God.
    (Your logic?)
    I REJECT ANYTHING PROPOSED AGAINST MY GOD!
    I REJECT ANYTHING PROPOSED AGAINST MY GOD!
    I REJECT ANYTHING PROPOSED AGAINST MY GOD!
    I REJECT ANYTHING PROPOSED AGAINST MY GOD!
    (Your logic.)

      Re: Two Poems - Silence and Religion

      I got the idea for these after a discussion (/argument?) in one of my classes... usually I spend more time with my poems but I feel it's ready. I am more speaking about popular religion/science than religion/science in general. Tell me what you think.

      EDIT just realized that I titled the thread wrong, it's supposed to be science... oops.

          Science was a good read. I like the whole concept of raping Nature - interesting take.

          The Religion one was absolutely powerless and just came across to me like a bitter atheist with a sock puppet and a childish vendetta.

          note: i'm actually an atheist so don't pass this off as bias

              heh gotcha... I'm not an atheist so that's not what I'm going for, but I see your point. I was kinda trying to imitate the Apostle's Creed, slowly disintegrating, but I can see how it could be construed as childish.

                  Either they're really deep or really shallow. I understood the first one. The second just seemed like you were ranting. Perhaps a little specification in the second one would help it... Good, though.

                          The inspiration for this was a class discussion where we had a bunch of people talking about how great science is and then one stout Christian sitting in the corner, literally only saying "I don't believe in evolution, this is stupid." So I guess I can see how it reads as childish, but that's kinda because the situation that made me write that was acting childishly. I guess that's still not a good excuse since a) I should've gone deeper and b) you kinda need the perspective for it to make sense which is poor writing.

                          Thanks for the feedback.
