Loading ...“I need a tranquilizer…
Oh God!The holy ghost;
Lay low the pain,
The malaise,I loathe the most.”
He prays at the synagogue,
with bruised knees,moist eyes,
and with all his sanity,
prepared to obliviously victimize.
Not an eon later,
he knocks at the gate of heaven;
in cold blood,with dry eyes,
unzipping his lips,lips plumped with lies.
“Oh Almighty!
The Gardener of Trinity!
The so-called king of glory,
The holy trinity in unity!”
“I trusted you!With all my hopes,
I believed in you!but now I elope
from a false truth;
that you don’t let down….
The Saviour,the owner of the crown!
You actually let me down..
You betray!Now I frown,
Thinking of another noun
to describe you,a word
to show how much I hate you!
Evil! fraud!
Who the hell named you the god!”
“I feel betrayed,humiliated…
All I wanted
was a piece of the pudding-
the pudding of joy,happiness,
prosperity,peace,joviality,success;
that the rest of the world relishes..”
“I prayed at the mosque,
I prayed at the cathedral,
The temple,the synagogue..
And now I conclude,I fear
That god is deaf.And why did…”
He went on and on,
cursing the god;
The God inside him,whom he called;
An evil,A fraud.
His own words,
transmuted into venom;
and killed him,
The silver lining was erased off,
The lily in the desert was pulled out.
He was the one,with all the might,
he was the one,with all the answers,
hes was the one! But that very night;
He cursed,He cried,He lied,He died;
and became a murderer.
A MURDERER WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
