No Peace

No Peace …..by Aaki

Aaki's avatarPoetry & life musings

Work , home, work , home
Monday to Friday ,his week flew by
Party with friends , a theatre show
He bade the weekend goodbye .
Again,the whole week was gone in a blink
He didn’t even sleep a wink.

His grandma used to talk about God
Said her ancestors went to the church .
A prayer was said before each meal,
Any stresses, any wounds
They believe god would heal.

Did they sleep in peace ?
He wondered …
But then some went to the temple,
Yet others went to a mosque
So many died at the hands of each other
Based on their definition of this ‘God’

World denounced all religions ,
In order to achieve peace.
But something feels empty;
His heart has anything but peace.

In this world devoid of all emotion ,
Where Everyone is guided just by instincts.
His heart was full of Commotion…

Conspiracy: Compilation 01/27/2023

Conspiracy …. by Christine Bialczak

Stine Writing and Miniatures's avatarStine Writing

You live in a world where no Gods exist
where fantasy’s real and wishes will die
Nefarious creatures you face by the dozens
to do nothing more than than leer and tell lies.
But how do you yield to a power so bold
To lurch to the front of this crowd?
Without leaving truths spun so even and fine
yet speak in harsh words so terribly loud.
Time to throw in the towel, leave through the door
put the past far from that part of your mind
Of course the best path to take this time ’round
Verify any old clues you can easily find.

The Dark Side

The Dark Side ….. Jim Adams explains dark matter

newepicauthor's avatarMindlovemisery's Menagerie

In the beginning, far, far away galaxies like our own Milky Way were formed and over billions of years they got bigger through the coming together of many smaller galaxies.  During the merger, small stars of the galaxy were pulled apart and scattered to form tiny relic galaxies while the big central globular cluster that survived the gravitational tug-of-war was able to gain more star material.  Astronomers were able to work out where dark matter is concentrated because it distorts light from distant stars.  The greater the distortion, the greater the concentration of dark matter.  Dwarf galaxies contain greater proportions of dark matter than large spirals and most of dark matter is in the outer parts of our galaxy.  A large region called a “halo” of dark matter encircles the Milky Way and represents the greatest concentration of the dark matter of the galaxy.  There is little to no normal matter in…

Without God?

Without God? …..by Sadje

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

It is a line prompt this week. Let’s see where it takes you.

“You live in a world where no Gods exist”

➰➰➰

If I lived in a world where no God existed

It would be a world devoid of kindness and good

If I lived in a world where there wasn’t a Divine presence

I would feel like I am existing in a barren landscape

Without a benevolent God to whom I can pray

I would be lost in a sea of uncertainty and hopelessness

In fact there would be no world if there was no God

For nothing would exist without the Creator and His creations

Thankfully I bow my head in submission to God

Who created me, nurtured me and provided for me

➰➰➰

I Live In A World…

I live in a world …..by Aboli Mane

Aboli Mane's avatarA Writer In The Room

The bell 
does not gong
to welcome 
the apotheosis... 
neither myths
nor paeans 
no one knows
what it means 
to pray; to beseech
heads unbowed
we stand. 

...I live in a world
where gods do not exist...

Is this a world 
where we are equal?
where suffering
holds no sway?
is karma...
a fable of the mind?
do deeds matter?
do good and evil 
remain undefined?
no promises 
of an afterlife

...I live in a world
where gods do not exist...

This one was quite a challenge. Haha 😄

I chose to work with the idea of the things that would not exist, if the faith or belief in God didn’t. If man didn’t have a deity to worship, the rites and belief surrounding that deity would also cease to exist. Thanks for reading. 💕

God (A Flash Fiction)

i live in one of the most affluent subdivisions in the city, where you would rub elbows with the richest of the rich and see eye-to-eye with influential people in politics and even in the entertainment industry. the area is 16 hectares of mixed-use shopping, residential, and leisure development. they say it is where the “ultra-rich and famous” lived.

country-inspired living meets the pleasures of city life is what our place is very much known. it provides refreshing amenities that include a freeform tropical-style leisure pool, landscaped pool deck with lounge area, children’s playground, fitness gym, shower rooms with lockers, and a multipurpose clubhouse.

some luxurious residential condominiums and towers offer generous floor layouts and incomparable views of the city. stories have it that one unit alone is bigger than the typical townhouses sold in the neighboring areas.

Written for Reena’s Prompt #265

You live in a world where no Gods exist.



We live in a world
where no God exists, hardships
bear witness to this

Sailed through life, not void
of trials, we reap the rewards
of efforts alone

Yet at that moment
when all falls, raged we now
look to blame someone

Death and famine rule
worlds, innocence murdered in
grand greed pursued goals

Hearts and souls bereft
pleas for help, questions of why
me, all go unheard

Enraged, we believe~
In joys we are blessed, in
sorrows lie God’s curse

Wronged by God, we feel
just maybe humanity
is the one who wronged

Perhaps we live in
A world where no God exists
Perhaps not~who knows...

Rena’s Exploration Challenge – Where Are You?

Where are you? …
By the Bag Lady

rugby843's avatarThe Bag Lady

***

“Darn it, Hera, why aren’t you improving my relationship with my husband? I already asked Zeus, but he’s acting like he has the weight of the world on his back! Aphrodite is ignoring my texts, and Artemis is messing up our plans to have children. I asked Hermes to put in a distress call for us, but he is ignoring my calls too! I guess I’ll have to bow again to Athena because she always has good advice, and Eros, hoping to find a way to let my husband know we can and will be happy again. I know the gods will never forsake us!
