Philosophy

I wrote this poem when I probably should have been paying attention to a teacher. Not for religious eyes...

 They dribble; and they cry
At the sound of his prowl
Contemplate, commiserate and
Just tell me how?
To ask is to dare,
And to dare is to fly
But to fly is to dwell into scarier skies.

They say that ignorance is bliss,
 And this I have learnt
And by seeking the truth,
My soul may be burnt
But fuck you God,
And for all that you stand
You- nothing but a trade
A sleight of hand

And thus I deduce
That to pry is to die,
I will escape the cave
And learn how to fly
Faith be convenient,
An essence of the weak
An old times tale, for the silly
And the meek.

You may call me sad, and
You may call me bleak; but
Blood, sweat and tears is
The reality of the week
Death is nigh
And hope will fail,
We all fall victim,    
Dead, doomed and frail.

So hence I speak, and here I denounce;
The wrath that be entire  
No fool am I, no fool will be
If wrong, I’ll face the fire
So let logic prosper
For all to see,
Or let logic die?!
The truth be not He.

So breathe,
Breathe.
And breathe,
In philosophy.
