can i get an amen?

after the storm there is a rainbow

but as Camus said, “This is the myth of Sysiphus”

there are no “powers that be” behind the damage left by the storms

just the storms and the damage they leave behind

and the boulder that keeps rolling down the hill

 

emptiness is the only thing that fills

there is no meaning in your suffering

there is just suffering

 

and the day you are going to die

whatever death is

i don’t know

i haven’t died yet

but i will

 

whether or not i keep pushing the boulder up the hill

or if it keeps rolling down

absence without a sound

but sometimes sound is the greatest absence

just don’t think recompense

 

there is no owing

because there is no order to things

there just is

and then there isn’t

say it again

 

there is no meaning in your suffering

can i get an amen?

another chorus from the choir?

i am not a liar

because there is no truth

 

just what you perceive

just what you believe

by what you have perceived

subjective reality

as you have been allowed or able to experience

 

i’m not trying to make sense

because it doesn’t really matter

believe and be

while i watch the deceive with indifference
