I live in a world of gods but they are silent
A lifetime of worship, devotion, and sacrifice
yet they deny me this one boon
They deny me you
Come back, my love…

A semblance of power pulses all around us
I reach for it, delve into the alchemy of the great mother
and preserve you in a stasis of aching beauty
but it is not enough
The gods hoard all the rest
And I need you, my sunrise

In a world without gods, our wills stir the cosmos
I reach into the infinite
and touch the divine dispersions once denied me
My chains are shattered
I see your soul in the chaos that must not be disturbed
But for you, my love
Anything!

The death of God was announced briefly, to a large group of school children, on March 15, 2100, and a tombstone was placed in Bill Gates square as a monument to the death of superstition and the rise of science. Penelope Gates the supreme world leader presided over the opening ceremony watched by a few of her minions from the World Forum, in addition to the students. She gave a short speech extolling the advances in science over the last hundred years and how humans now controlled their own destiny and had no need for the Gods of old. “We are a fully enlightened species and have buried all the superstitious nonsense of the past”. The ceremony was duly recorded and screened in all residences to further indoctrinate the masses to the will of the ruling…

Yes, literally its a blog which is driven by different “prompts“, as given by other respected & established bloggers. It goes like-

Love & solemnity forge her exercise deeds till infinity,

Acting as a Family angel with all her true Muliebrity,

No responsibility eschewed and no apathy shown,

Mothers are evidently second God to us

In this world with true known sanity.

Nothing to deter her from even an iota of optimism,

Be complete failures or any tiny criticism,

Let our faith always persists,

Because we don’t live in a world,

Where no God exists.

I live with my “mother”, you may opt

To live in a world where no Gods Exist.

Above is my effort to do justice to the prompts as detailed-

Reena’s Xploration Challenge#265- To live in a world where no Gods Exist.

“

Written for J-Dubs word…

A pause,

A shiver,

A tremor,

and then suddenly there wasn’t any fear,

any fear of consequences,

any fear of good and bad.

and then suddenly there wasn’t anyone to blame,

blame when things don’t our way,

blame when we are perceived wrong.

and then suddenly there wasn’t anyone to rely on,

rely during tough and easier times,

rely for own consolation.

and then suddenly there wasn’t any belief,

belief in known and unknown,

belief to choose or deny.

A pause,

A shiver,

A tremor,

and realisation dawns,

in goodness i see God,

God lies within,

within you and me.

The prompt was the line,” You live in a world, where no god exists”

A beautiful world

There is lot less strife

Less pain and sufferings

No arduous paths to follow

No archaic books to read

Nothing blinds the minds

Or squeezes them in tubes

Forcing them to embrace

Delusions and mindless beliefs

No lasting wars to spread

Messages of transient peace

No hatred for our brethren

Belonging to other streams

There’s no hell or heaven

To terrorise or entice

For you live in a world

Where no god exists

Morals, kindness and empathy as well as hatred, anger and jealousy are basic human traits. No religion can grant you some and no religion can take a few away.
