there is no reason

i don’t understand those who surround

and the sound

their vocal chords make

 

something didn’t go according to plan

and because you didn’t get your way

you rationalize by a concurrent event

 

this happened to keep something worse from occurring

endure with contentment

is an acknowledgement

submission to benevolence

ain’t i wise and worthy?

 

such a statement

requires a presupposition

that not only is there god

but it has my best interest in mind

 

there is no evidence in kind

things just happen

or they don’t

there is no reason why

beyond the reason you tried

 

and even that reason is laden

with a layer of perceptual lies

 

just quit talking to me

as if i am someone who could ever believe

in anything more than a nucleus at the core

and we can co-exist

 

you don’t have to stop believing

truth or deceiving?

these are things to me that are a non-issue

just quit talking to me
