Poetry by Brian37 (poems by an atheist)
Online I post all over the web, but I want a back up in case my computer or one particular website goes down.
I have decided to edit this post because I do not like giving people the wrong impression. I cannot read Shakespeare to save my life. I just remember this one line from act 5 scene 5 and put my own spin on it. I've had to explain this over and over so here I decided to put that in this post so there is no more presuming what I know or don't know. But the plot of MacBeth is the old lesson, you can have everything and nothing at all at the same time. And how did all that cruelty serve you in the end? But I do not like play summeries calling him a Nihisist, because it is possible to not do what he did, and accept life as being finite, and sitll have morals without religion.
NEW EDIT 9/19/22 I got pissed at myself that I was scared to read MacBeth, so tonight, I forced myself to read it online. Now mind you, I did not understand it line for line, but basically Macbeth was an assdhole who murdered his way to the top, and did not believe the 3 witches prophcies. He murdered Duncan and had Banquo murdered. Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth. And made the grave mistake of attacking McDuff's family and killing them(If I am reading this correctly) But Lady MacBeth has a guilty conscience and kills herself, upon finding out Macbeth basically says that life is not worth living and he should go down with a fight anyway, but refuses to fight Macduff face to face and Macduff kills him as the hero. ( I SERIOUSLY read the entire play every line, tonight. I even know where the famous line "double double, toil and trouble". comes from. The three witches, basically saying "look out Macbeth" your ass is in trouble.
So basically the moral of the play, don't be a fucking asshole when trying to get to the top, or "the bigger they are the harder they fall". Reminds me of the movie Scarface and all the shitty things Tony did to get to the top and all for not. But Sosa in that case was not a good guy either.
QUOTE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MACBETH:"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Here is my spin on that wonderful and profound line:
Out, Out brief candle, By Brian37
To-deities, and to-gods, and to-God
Creeps in this petty tyrant from day to day
Until the extinction of humanity new ones will be invented
And all our yesterday's Gods have been created by fools
The way to tribal death. Out out brief myth
Claims are but a walking shadow, a poor reflection
That struts our narcissism upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by the credulous, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

^ Brian doesn't understand his own constitution. And explaining why he's delusional would be a waste of time. Everyone else knows why and he's too arrogant and stupid to accept reality so there's no educational value in it at all.

The art of the deal
Has no appeal
The carnival Barker
Is the huckster's shrill
Exactly how
Would one pay
To remove 11 million
And with what, cattle cars?
You are as phoney
As the WWE
As fake as Fox News
And your combover too
Towering inferno
I hope to see

I would think that you would be a huge Trump supporter. You are the one always bitching about the "race to the bottom". Trump is the only candidate in my lifetime to suggest substantially reducing the unskilled labor pool (thus reducing competition for and raising wages for low skilled jobs) along with draconian increases in tariffs to make building factories over seas less viable. It is everything you have claimed should be our goals.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
not to mention the striking similarities in rhetotical style between brian and trump. both of them formulate an argument equally well.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."
--Hunter S. Thompson
A Clockwork Blue, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
It is one thing
To rightfully blast
Religious claims
That lead to violence
But the unarmed
Who are harmless
Do not deserve
Presumption of guilt
You handcuffed a teen
Because of his name
The tone of his skin
Are you insane?
Do not hand me
It was out of safety
You know what you did
And you should be ashamed
Ban chemistry classes
You might as well
Some innocent teen
Might make poison
That tourch in the sky
The crowned lady holds
Words of inclusion
Not xenophobia
I'll be the first
With biting words
To attack absurd claims
And and acts of violence
I fear not to question
Nor to offend
Yet incumbant to know
The diffferenece between rights and claims
The Boller hats
Replaced with badges
Handcuffed the rape victim
A Clockwork Blue
In my hometown
I know of several
Computer repare shops
With piles of scrap circuts
If every thing
That is electronic
Is a potential bomb
Investigate them too
A Clockwork blue
The teacher a fool
And my sincere hope
Is you all get sued
A climate of fear
Is no way to live
And even worse
When you inflict it on kids

Apprentice Says What?, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
Call them rapists
Look at that face
Pretend that is not
What you meant
Bait the paraniod
Quesition his birth
You know damned well
Hawaii is a state
Frothing and foaming
Your rabid dogs
Getting your minions
To dance for you
You wont take money
From the rich
But all you did
Was cut out the middle man
You are the plutocrat
Who has addmitted'
You've paid them off
In the past
4 bankruptcies
You'd expect us to ignore
You rent your name now
But nothing more
Passionate you call
Your supporters
Failing to denouce
Those who harm others
You think wealth
Is what defines morals
You are a rat
In a monkey suit
You are no Teddy
No Abe or Kennedy
No FDR
Not even Reagan
Your provication
Is not about truth
It is nothing more
Than feeding fears
Find that rock
From which you crawled
Your poisionious speech
Is not what humanity needs
This is no fake
TV show
Lives are affected
By your vile hate.

Polytheist Addresses The United Nations, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
While addressing the United Nations
The media has under reported
His Holyness newest
Announcment of saint
Exhault they have
Dominionists
This newest
Is no different
Olives and doves
Peace and love
Ask Native Americans
What they really did
At the foundation
Of that complex
In the middle of it
A symbol of a tyrant
A cross sits atop
Caligula's oblisk
The one he stole
From ancient egypt
Ceasars Rome
Were dominionists too
Expanded their empire
Through out Europe
Ask the Natives
Of California
If this new saint
Was free of violence
Your institution
Simply replaced
Rome's polytheism
With new dominionism
They pray to saints
And to Marry too
That mimic lesser gods
They overthrew
They see immages
Claim it's a sign
I see delusion
It's all in their mind
Statues that cry
Weeping trees
Images in toast
You're kidding me
Driving a Fiat
Throw them a bone
Still no females
Have taken your throne
Ask the Natives
Of California
The human cost
Of all those Missions
The word "Saint"
If defined correctly
Is the door to door salesmen
Who makes the sale
At all costs
Through provocation
Then when confronted
Falsely cries victim
How dare you
Speak to the world
About morality
After what you have done
You had the nerve
To to discribe
"Dificult times"
Discribing molesting preists
"I thank the preists"
For stepping in
But it was the parents
Who actually forced them
There is no "I'm sorry"
No confession
I would call real
In what you have said
You don't defend gays
You are condecending
When you say
Lets not judge them
Then you tell Asia
The opposite
Defend traditional marriage
You did instruct
Then you thank nuns
Only to say
Protect the unborn
Though it is not your body
I cannot say
It is all PR
I will however
Remain suspect
Your foundation
Is still from an age
I'd like to see
Humanity scrap
Europe knows
They have not forgotten
The grip on that contenent
The church long held
And so too
In California
Native tribes
Also remember
We cant force you out
But we are watching
And we will not
Give you a pass

Stop, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter).
Stop the demonizing
Claiming our icons
Are the monsters
Of history
Stop claiming
We have no values
When the fact is
We do
The quistor
Faces inquisition
For no other reason
Than insecurity
Stop thinking
There is a center
That you are in
A patent holder
Stop thinking
Fantasy football
By picking the right players
Equates to forever
Stop thinking
Pompous dress
Standing at lecterns
In the pulpit
Stop thinking
That rusted prose
While skipping those
Inconvenient contradictions
Constitute anything
But a naked assertion
That convenient
Coincides with your own desires
Stop pretending
That proxy of claims
Tradition, appology
Are any different
Transfere we do
All the time
Leave one position
Migrate and mix
Life existed
Long before
Cave paintings
Or the first writen language
The revolutions
Of our planet
Dwarf the indiviual
And even our species
Stop trying
To kill the messanger
Simply because
You dont like the message
There is gravity
There is DNA
Darwin was right
Get out of the way
Stop holding us back
We've improved before
When we question
Old social norms
Peddlers of fear
Is all it is
Stop pretending
A God exists

You Are Dismissed, By Brian37 (AKA Rational Poet, on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter).
In written word
Or making sound waves
Transmitting them
In all sorts of ways
By proxy of utterance
Does not constitute
Facts or evidence
For like of such
How many would
Go to work
If on payday
Your boss did say
"Trust me
You'll get paid
The check is invisible
Just have faith"?
When your vehicle
Fails to start
You don't wait
For magic at all
If proxy of utterance
Were all it took
Would you believe me
If I claimed
If I claimed
I was a billionaire
Dating Angelina Jolie
Would you be snared?
Consider the context
Of the source
Of things written
In our ignorance
Assert with out evidence
Hitchens rightfully stated
Demands no consideration
And holds no weight
Apology is not science
It never was
Knowledge starts not
With naked assertions.

Do No Pass Go, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter.)
The resources
Are controlled
By investors
Around the world
Oil in Saudi Arabia
China's cheap labor
Gadaffi was
A billionaire
A form of government
Capitalism is not
For every nation
Holds investments
The Vatican
To Iran
To the Koch brothers
It's all the same
If no investments
Were held by Un
No military
Would protect him
Humans argue
Of gods and guns
Political isms
We fall for them
The plane takes off
The same way
First class or coach
Our destination the same
50 million
On average per year
Meet the reaper
In all sorts of ways
Ebola and famine
Stillborn, old age
Hurricanes and tornados
War and street gangs
Castro and Pontiff
Bush and Obama
Netenyahu and Arafat
Are all finite
All point to the other
In futile effort
To be the patent holder
Of our species existence
Special is local
A nanosecond
Between life and death
We are firmly fixed
Decry and defend
Scream at the dark
Pretend you will not
Return to nothing
Born out of fear
And nothing more
Allows the powerful
To control
Stop burning fuel
Stop making weapons
Start paying well
And ending famine
There is no intelect
In use of brawn
Murdering our species
Fear of being wrong.
A win still is
A short term gain
Decades or centuries
Borders change
And in the wake
Of needless tribalism
Time continues
After we are gone.
Hands on the button
All sides hold
If I cant have you
We all go
Invent we do
Weapons of doom
When we could
Create more room
Room for more
Education
Room for more
Diplomacy
Die theocracy
And one party states
Die classism
And the poverty it creates
Migrate and move
We've always done
DNA traced
Before the first boarders.
Our species has
No excuse
To rattle sabers
Threatening wars
The rich of the world
Have no excuse
To put profits and ego
Above all others
The clubs and clothing
Are superfluous
Hands on the button
Does no one good
Deniers I scold
In all their strain
Be it the Holocaust
Or the Pope's new Saint
Ayn Rand no hero
Neither was Che
Opportunists
The likes of thee
You stand in the front
Of your flocks
In varies names
Convince the lot
In a board room
Sell sell sell
In holy buildings
Sell sell sell
Exactly what
Humility
Do we have
As a species?
The illusion of power
In all its forms
We are temporary
And nothing more
The only thing
Our species can do
If for those who follow
After we're gone
The choice is obvious
At least for me
Shorten with war
Extend through deplomacy
The enemy of
Our species
Is our failure to accept
We share the same past

First off moron, Trump is out for himself, no one else. Secondly he is running for a party that says fuck the poor and suports doing nothing but more trickle up economics. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Live Coverage, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
There is a famous meme
That takes advantage
Of the woman in song
Atop a mountain meddow
Some apply
Her to football
Others apply
It to baseball
And now I get it
After this week
Where one man
From Italy
Hijacked the news
Just like Trump
While there is other
News to be heard
Being right
About climate change
Being right
About immigration and refugees
Being right
About all those things
Does not make you
A magic man
You have no power
No one speaks to you
There is no bat signal
Summoning you
It is recruitment
To prop up
Falling attendance
To the church
Obi Wan
You pretend to be
Selling nothing
To humanity
Slight of hand
Is slight of mind
Slight of dress
And slight of smile
Fallacious bishop
Getting your pawns
To protect your
Invisible chessboard
Of Eagles and Fliers
And Independence Hall
You will part this country
As your last stop
Meanwhile NASA
Are the fact finders
With the probe on Mars
Will provide us answers
Stop following men
Who make false claims
Who claim bigotry
When you challenge them
He lives in a castle
You have funded
He's built nothing at all
One could call useful
How dare you
Talk of freedom
After what you said
When the cartoonists were murdered
They treat you like Elvis
Not that they should
The only thing missing
From your costume
Are sequins and rhinestones
For you are a pop star
Shallow lyrics
With nothing to offer
Cotton candy
Spun fiberglass
Insulated
With asbestos
We don't need you
We never did
When you leave
I'll be glad
Crackers are flesh
Wine is blood
I wont take that seriously
Nobody should
Get on that plane
Don't come back
I do not value
Claims without facts

Yeah? So is everyone else who has ever made a serious run for the presidency. It takes a shit load of ego to desire what is arguably the most influential executive position in the world. And since politics is about selling yourself, those who comoete at the top level have to love their product.
So his actual policy positions don't matter, you are loyal to The Party no matter what. Got it. Nice to see you being honest for a change.

I Forbid You, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter).
l forbid you
To depart before me
I know it is
A hollow threat
But to think
Of my life
Without you
Will leave a huge void
My mom number 1
And will always be
Yet the thought without you
Criples me
You taught me to think
Questioned everything
You laughed at my jokes
When no one did
A shoulder you've been
In my times of strife
Never judged me
For my lot in life
You don't care
About my favorite sport
But love to watch me
Coming unglued
I forbid you
To go befor me
Not that their is
Anything I can do in reality.

"Agnositc Atheist" By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Often I hear,
From the rightful skeptic
The fallacy
You can't know either way
It misses the point
If you addmit
Your current position
Is "off" or "empty"
Why do some rightful skeptics
Have a problem
With putting "agnostic"
In front of "atheist"?
For me at least
In a strict semantic context
"Technically" only
The future hasn't happened
So "we cant know for sure"
While true
Still does not incorporate
Probability or likelyhood
I can only see myself
Going back to religion
Through some sort of trauma
Or illness
But in my lucid state
With Hawkins rightfully saying
"A god is not required"
Why dwell on it?
Pele had no puppet strings
Making the volcano blow
I give no favor or reprieve
To popularity or tradition
Occham jumps in
With his simple blade
"Which is more likely"
Destroying myths nicely
The probability of a deity
Is flettingly unlikely
So much so
It's wiser to consider
Wiser to consider
They are reflections of us
Our imaginiations
Producing false comfort
To that rightful skeptic
Who shys away
From the word "atheist"
It is not wrong to say
There is a past you reject
And you are currently "off"
And with what you know
It is not wrong
To refer to the future
As agnostic
While your light switch
Is currently "off".

What are you on? By Brian37 By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Do you fill a paper bag
With spray paint
Or is it whipits
What are you on?
Is it paint thiner
Bath salts
What exactly
Are you inhaling
Don't hand me
This sky wizard
You know it's a fraud
What are you on?
Is it a dime bag
Jamacian grass
Is it a rock you light up
In a pipe of glass?
What are you on?
What year is this
Don't you think
We should get past it?
You've rapped that hose
Around your arm
Stuck the needle in
For centuries long
It makes you feel good
I don't doubt that
But what exactly
Makes it fact?
Popularity
Sucks you in
Mostly when
You are a kid
A victim of boarders
Is what it really is
Born in one place
Is the likely factor
What are you on?
To value faith
It is no virtue
It never was
Your methedone club
And pulpit drug dealer
Have hijacked your brain
And held it hostage.
Oh you fancy your vice
And try to spread it
Ignoring the others
You don't inject
What are you on
What year is this
Cant you see
God is for kids?
It makes you feel good
I don't doubt that
But I do question
Your perception of reality
What are you on?

The "swammy"
She decided
To follow him
Jack and Janet
Were quite worried
That all it was
Was a con
With slick words
He convinced her at first
To give up her money
And move to Big Sir
Finally she did
Thwart his advances
Knowing it was snake oil
He was selling her
But Big Sir
Is quite real
Every sunday
On every street
Would be funny
A mere comedy
If it were not
The ignored reality
Apostacsy
To verying degrees
Around the world
It's hard to leave
If you are lucky
When you part company
The worst you get
Is loss of family or friends
Big Sir
Promises escape
But in fictional woods
That dont exist
It would be funny
If a mere comedy
But this is the poison
Religion is to humanity
Hinn and Olsteen
Falwell and Robertson
Scientology
And also Mormanism
Big Sir
The guy upstairs
Only dwells
Between your years
Elephant gods
Tebiten Monks
Rastafarians
All want something
For you to buy
Without inspecition
On the spot
Without any question
It would be funny
If a mere comedy
But this is the poison
Religion is to humanity

This Is No Schoolyard, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
"In spite off all this"
A young girl said
Hiding in an attic
Was lead to her death
Randolph helped
The man that died
On a motel balcony
U2 sang about
Trible men
Shot a girl
Merely because
She wanted an education
3 Muslims
Here in North Carolina
Two of which
Aspired to be dentists
Shot down
Over a parking space
By a deeply disturbed
Atheist
This is no Schoolyard
No room to expand
When is my species
Going to stop acting like gangs?
Speak ill of me
Blast my claims
But do me a favor
Put down your weapons
This is no schoolyard
What does it solve
By murdering others
Over mere words
The letting of blood
Is far too easy
Why can't my species
Use more deplomacy
There is no more room
For us to expand
This is no schoolyard
No footbol rivalry
To late in the day
To care about blasphemy
To much violence
To care that you like me
My oath is to
Only one thing
Knowing our species
All feels pain
To suffer harsh words
Is a mere slight
Put down your weapons
This is no schoolyard
Nobody is chosen
We never were
There will be a future
Our species won't matter
Now is it
All we have
Put down your weapons
This is no schoolyard

A Couple Of Cans And A Piece Of String, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Barbie and Legos
Or GI Joe
Ancient Sim City
X-Men thinking
Resident Evil
The Walking Dead
The sun was no diety
There is no such thing
Lite Brite logic
Nothing real
Mental toys
Ready to kill
The cans are rusted
The strings are broken
It was understandable
When we didn't know better
That childish Battleship
Is still arround
"If I cant have you
No one can"
Action figures
Is all they are
Adult toys
Ready to kill
The cans are rusted
Throw them away
The war between gods
Will get humanity killed

It's Taking It's Toll(ode to Metallica), By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
It's Taking It's TollMake a drawing
On the wall in the early day
Constant ignorance deep inside
Shouting claims spreading hate
Through the endless pain
Piled high, they all die
They take the pill, and they will kill
Why? They do not know
Tribal beefs keep stubborn pride
Take a look in that book
Before you pull your gun
It's not the last time you will
Hollow roar, needless roar
Fills the graveyard more
They think they all got it right
Stranger now are those claims to me
Killing based on ideas from antiquity
We see the ignorance so loud
Light of dawn, it's all gone
Except the memory
What blinded eyes used to see
Weapons of lore,
We need no more
Science the key
Ditch them all, it needs to be
To extend our finite ride
It is way past time that we did
For the truth will be told
Time marches on
For the truth will be told

"I Don't Understand Wilby" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
The call came in
For Engine 51
Ariving at a house
Of a local politician
He was half on the couch
Half on the floor
The old lady shouted
As they came through the door
"He doesn't need them
He needs prayer"
She impatiantly repeated
As they tried to save Wilby
Wilby's campain manager
Was the first she called
She kept repeating
"I don't understand,
I don't understand"
As she prayed in the corner
Johny and Roy
Deperately worked on him
As they made
Their futile effort
Come to find out
She waited an hour
Waited an hour
Before calling his manager
Who in turn
Called Emergancy
They transported him
To Rampart
Where the politician
Took his last breath
It would be nice
If it were only in drama
It would be nice
If it didn't inspire a script
Parents deny
Care to their kids
Gullible humans
Die from faith healers.

"Meow" By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet On FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
My best friend
I currently pamper
Who is hands down
My boss
I picked as a result
To my family advising
After the death of
Of my cat prior
Peyton my X named
Named after the QB
Whom she thought
Was cute
We had him for years
Till we divorced
I moved him
Down here to NC
Time as it does
Took him
Leaving me empty
A void to fill
So to "Cat Tails"
I was encouraged
To get back on that horse
Dispite my loss
So there I was
In a sea of cats
Each of them tempting
To take home with me
Then this one little guy
Parted the Red Sea
Out of the corner of my eye
Like Mario Andretty
He ran over everyone
Blazed a trail to me
On par with the Road Runner
To hug my leg and look up
Hugged my leg
Looked up
And meowed
As if I could resist
"No "was not an option
Cute had won the day
Sarah is my best friend
Yes he has a girl's name
But that is another story.

The Parties Of Ants, By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter).
To save the colony
They self distruct
Slamming planes
Into allied battleships
Why did that cat
In that video
Attack the dog
To protect the kid
The party of ants
Elaborate rants
Humans stupidly think
We are above all that
"Omniscient"
He'll get me
Then why are you
Stepping in?
Seems silly to me
If I am weak
And can be crushed
By this giant being
The sand you dig
Your network in
Is an illusion
You keep protecting
If it is between
Your dad and me
Why your beef
Being the third party?
Where is your trust
In his power
Maybe you know
It is really hollow
You stick up for daddy
Willing to slaughter
How pathetic your logic
The anthill you kill for
That cat in that video
Is what is real
Why humans are social
And protect each other
In spite of what
Science is proving
Your cosmic Terminator
You insist on selling
Ok midget
You look stupid
Killing for Arnold
Standing spread eagle
In front of him
A mere delusion
"Don't pick on my God
You might hurt him"
Go away ants
John wrote a song
We'd be better off
If all were gone.

Saeculum Obscurum, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
A pajoritive
Some do argue
Does not apply
To this period of time
I disagree
Just like the Middle East
You still have
A variety
Afghanistan
By comparrison
To Turkey or Morocco
There is an economic difference
But to say
In Papal History
On average in Europe
Depending on location
It was still theocratic
Pockets of tollerence here and there
But not close to
Modern secularism
There was still cooruption
Just like today
Clergy and Aristocracy
Even murder and concubines
Marozia knew Serguis
Just as today
Clergy even if not all
Still obscure transgressions
Adulescentia
The salmon accessed
Under angelic cloak
Eclesiastical grizzlys
The leash far better
In Europe and the Americas
Than those of Afirica
The Vatican now courts
The Inquisition still happened
Under rule of the clergy
Even in Massechuchets
In Salem they burned witches
Argue the darkness
It still depends
It still does not eliminate
Cruelty based on superstitions

Peanut Butter And Jelly, By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Please understand
I do agree
That with the East
There is a PR problem
Saudi Arabia and Iran
Are not exactly bastions
Of political or religious
Freedom
And they too
Are willing take up arms
Willing do die
For what they believe
I find it hard
While pointing
In the right direction
A mirror you lack
I guess it is ok
If in killing the other
It is done in the name
Of the right book
Even locally
You fear change
Willing to kill
To protect a gun
As if it were living
Just like Isis
Murders over criticism
Of their prized possession
As if a gun
Were an unborn child
As if it were Mohammed
Or even Jesus
This is no sandwich
To be admired
Worship of old books
Or tools of death
Dont talk about peace
And be willing to kill
Over old books or objects
Vile peanut butter and jelly

Suddenly Appear, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB, and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Why do bodies suddenly appear
Every time guns are near
Unlike me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day the guns were made
The NRA got to gether
And decided to create
A bloodbath so true
So they sprinkled
Bullets in your head
And sold stars like Rambo
In your blind eyes of doom
That is why all the nuts in town
Carry them all arround
Unlike me they long to be
Close to you

"District Of Columbia" By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
No it is not
As "plane" as it seems
A famous coach
In gold and green
Got on that Fokker
And lost it's wings
And his pep talk
Became legend
As a result
Of his ill fated flight
Better technology
Came to arise
My imagination
As does with youth
Lead me to gap fill
Not knowing the truth
Gigantic to me
Everything was
The size of the airport
To those metal birds
The antisipation
Of the adventure
Of lifting off
Flying above
The various numbers
And names of the birds
Were forgien to me
Seemed too tehcnical
So I made up
My own answer
Living outside
Our nation's capital
It was no District
Of Columbia
That DC-10
Meant something different
So time passed
I let it go
Untill this morning
I watched a show
And now I learned
It wasn't so deep
The name of that bird
Wasn't that complicated
Douglas
McDonnell concived
A long time actor
Future Comander and Chief
Went on to play
A fomer player
This famed coach
Gave his speech
Those hail Marrys
At the end of the game
That put all fans
On the edge of their seat
I had no clue
How intertwined
History was
At the time
But now I know
What DC means
Learn one for the Gipper
It's history
(end)
It was an indirect result of the death of Knute Rockne that lead to the technology of the Douglas Civilian airliner. Knute gave rise to the leged of honoring George Gipp who died at the age of 25 from health problems which is why we sometimes even today hear "Win one for the Gipper". Longtime actor and future president Ronald Reagan played George Gipp in a movie.
It was simply neat for me to finally learn what "DC" meant as far as modle names for planes. No, it did not mean "Washington DC".

Bjorn Identity, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
Take a chance on me
My name is reality
The winner takes it all
Mythology has to fall
The cons may throw their dice
Their logic as cold as vice
But someone thinking here
Warns others to be aware
I was in your myth
Thinking I'd be strong there
I figured an old book
Would take no second look
But you see
The popularity takes it all
Realiity has to fall
The delusion takes it all
Summer night city
Is caused by the tilt
The cold of Chiquitita
In the same way
Sorry Casandra
You did not deserve
The curse of Apollo
It is all sexist
Before the Rhapsody
A decade later
You were the queens
Of the dance floor
No more
Factless banter
Science
Ever after
Walking through an empty house
Fears in their eyes
Now there's only naked assertions
Off of what they all thrive

Divine Warrant, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
Not even that of
The legend of Buddha
Can escape
The fantastic claims of origin
Tis still the idea
That wisdom
Was handed down
By the divine
His mother a queen
Gave birth
To a gift
To the world
He as well
Avoided the birth canal
Instead
Born from her side
This is a divine warrant
As much as any other
Humans creating a club
In order to claim gatekeeper status
Thus the same
Of any religious writing
Guru, oracle, preacher
Imam, Rabbi, soothsayer
While some in current state
Seem more peaceful
It is an uneasy truce
Fasly missleading
Peace is not holy
It is of time and geography
It is not godless either
It is our species actions
There is no divine right
No divine book
No divine person
No divine club
The only warrant
That we can claim
Is the warrant
Of our common existence
We must be fearless
In question
But not fearful
In question

The mall rat of politics
Panders to fear
Hyper nationalist
Blames everyone else
China, Mexico
Points to the East
But long before
Vince McMahon
Long before
His Jerry Springer plan
The Orwellian network
On the far right
Was using double speak
To allow him to rise
Pay no attention
To real history
The Whiskey Rebellion
That did not succeed
Ammon and Cliven
Are just spoiled brats
Hypocritical imbiciles
Who cry free market
Others of ilk
Who have farmland too
Did not support
Their stupid move
The yellow pills
Wear monicles
In droves they worship
The Orange Julius
Now Ted and Jeb
Are crying foul
For the monster their party
Allowed to rise to power

Is the candy they make
Light the fuse
Death in it's wake

Emily's Buglight, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
The buzz then silence
The crackle of lightening
On then off
And puff of smoke
The finality plauged you
To ponder thus
The cosmic windsheid
We're splattered upon
The torrent spirals
Churn the Atlantic
Brief calm between
The shifting dirrections
Stumbling buzz
To the neon blue
The crackle and pop
And singe of smoke
Thy bystanders
Watch in horror
As our buzz
Ends up in silence
As mighty
As the hurricane is
It so as well
Will meet an end
Your skepticism
My dear Emily
Was justified
But not complete.
I wonder now
If buzzing today
If you'd still cling
Just in case
That evil pulpit
It seems to me
Needlessly scared you
Yet the doubt still grew

No Such Thing, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
When one claims
They are special
By mere proxy
Of superflous label
When one claims
I offer kindness
As if others
Could not
When one argues
Their traditions
When they argue
Their old confectiions
The reality is
None want to face
We occupy
The same place
The same dot
Sagan points out
Much older than
Our tribal boughts
No such thing
As a perfect religion
It is not a cure
To human's divisions
All have sects
That compete
Within the same labes
They dont agree
No such thing
As a religious cure
Only humans
Who ignore
A separate species
We are not
Silly to me
To argue over
Religion, if not all
Still has the downside
Of far too many
Chasing utopias
Impossible utopias
That will never exist
And far to often end
With deadly results
No such thing
As a perfect religion
A cure for humanity
Never has been

Yea which is why your work is world famous. I'm not either, but neither are you.
He he he he, if I was out to please you, you'd be right, I'd be fucked, but the good thing is I am under no legal obligation to give one flying fuck what you think.

Meaningless, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Take your
Doomsday fatalism
Your childish tantrums
And get rid of them
Rivers of blood
Is all they produce
Your tribal books
Human trash we're reduced
Religion is
Trying to replace
The telescope
With a kaliedoscope
You'd have me believe
You'd have me swallow
Triabal gang manuals
That lead to the gallows
Then have the nerve
To rail against me
When I tell you
Our real history
I am not in want
Of weapons or war
For simply saying
There is no more
You take this as doom
But I do not
I simply say
This is all we've got
John sang a song
We can imagine
To accept Shakespeare
And the words of Sagan
To fret over fancy
To kill over antiquity
To die protecting ignorance
The ultimate absurdity
I don't want you dead
I want the hungry fed
I dont want to kill
I want education to fill
Meaningless
Is what we've been fed
Our species killing
Over projectionism
Instead we could
If we wanted to
Value limited time
And value truth
Our species has
Lots it could do
To improve conditions
If foward we move
Too much at stake
For all parties involved
To dwell in the past
It's time to move on

There is no sun
Up in the sky
Stormy weather
Competing sects
Born out of ignorance
Hot and cold
High and low
The company of misery
Defending antiquity
A social pecking order
Is what they all seek
Franklin knew this
About reason
If to replace with faith
Is the mind's treason

"We shall find few
That have not in their turns
Been persecutors,
And complainers of persecution."
Though Ben was describing
His thoughts of one
The competing fronts
Apply to all

But you don't

Leni would take notice
Of your frothing of the crowd
Loyalty demanded blindly
Arms raised at your rally
The orange demogogue
Scapegoats everyone else
She'd be very impressed
At the goosesteps you produce
Apocolypictic vision
Your opra in the Teifland
Lay them out on stretchers
Make us great again
The Night of Broken Glass
You seek to replicate
The targets now hispanic
Or from Arab states
You think it is a jet of water
Splitting open earth
Touching the sky of truth
Spittle is all it is
Now you cancel a rally
Siting public safety
Like Leni's late apology
For what was done to Gypsies

Are biplanes flying overhead
