“You’ll Find Out” By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
That hollow refrain
That hollow threat
You must know
I’m not buying any of it
And exactly how
Do you know this?
Do you have him
In your cell phone contacts?
“Almighty”
“All powerful”
“Omnipotent”
Seems incompetent
To me,
If it has to seek
The voices of mere mortals
To do his bidding scheme
I’d think by such parameters
It would need no human help
It could punish me, quick work
It shouldn’t need an enforcer
It shouldn’t need your P.R.
It shouldn’t need a body guard
I think the truth is obvious
It makes you feel good
To threaten others
Because that is easier
Than to consider
You got it wrong
And there is no monster
Upstairs, vengeful, angry
And always ready
To squash me like a gum wad
No, I think the truth
Is mundane, I think
You want this fiction
To be fact
I think you are
The only to act
And you want
That deck stacked
In your favor.
But if you think your fervor
Or mythological sky father
Is going to make me lose sleep
Don’t bother
I am not afraid
Of Darth Vader
Either.

A clever piece of poetry, Brian. I haven’t seen many of your poems recently. I don’t see them come up in my Reader and am not getting any notifications as I usually do. I hope I haven’t missed any – perhaps, you haven’t written as much lately? I’ve been a little concerned about you. Do let me know how you are. Thanks, Brian. X

I wouldn’t have thought so, Brian. I think we have licence to write whatever we want – they are just our honest opinions, after all. Are WP allowed to censor our posts, I wonder. I didn’t think they could. X

Thanks, Brian. I’m on my own tomorrow. I usually am. I’m going to make myself a small Christmas dinner, though, and will probably write during the day sometime. I’ve also got presents to wrap for when I see my son and the children on Boxing Day. Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow. X 🎄
