An Atheist Pagan Spirit

Galileo
I would sing of thee!

eyes of a visionary
reduced to cinder
before the great white axe
of their fervor and control

We do not
Follow
the Sun
Recant!

Did Socrates come upon his face
In that moment?
or Prometheus?

his gift of Reason’s fire
forged with Will and quiet Observation
burned
screaming into submission

I imagine the hands
that held him
before the censer
were not the hands of a Thinker

They were the hands
of an ignorant,
programmed, and controlled
Thug

So many Gods we can Become
So many bodies on conquerors Crosses
Pagan Warriors
until they nail us

or we Overcome them

We shall see no singular god in space
or their heaven
for that is their way
not ours

Our Gods come from within ourSelves
Archetypes
of what we can Become
in Moments

Our Light in the sky
a swirl of Humans
The Wild Hunt,
Herne’s Host

So many forms
the Wheel does take

a Mass of Living
humans interacting

not spirits of the dead

a Wheel
of living Life
circling,
teeming

ascending from the swirling herd of humanity
of animals that we are in ethereal spirit
as lights we ascend swiftly
to that bright white light
and through it

it is no god to Us

but a pool
a Door

of watery light
with a glistening plateau

which we swim through
to sit awhile upon
looking down as living beings

Meditating

Rebuilding
our understanding
of Sight

the pool does not speak to Us

If You say it does
I would say to you
it is the Mind-Voice
of your Priest

You may call his Voice “god” if you wish
I will not
nor will I bow my head
to “pray”

I will look forward at you

I will not
Recant

We will interact with each other
each ourselves as gods
I will give my Teachers
Respect

Your teachers and priests
counsellors and clerics of psychology
mad priests and priestesses of the urban wilderness
clutching their Objectivity
and Degrees

amidst the maelstrom

They must
Earn this
from me
not
expect it

marijuana and cigar smoke
curls slowly
from my spliff

Herbal Sacraments

They would say it is killing me.
More swiftly
than this
Burning?

Psychology burns Sight
with an unflinching Cultural Bias
pretending to be oblivious
to its own Subjectivity

A Christian Psychologist
prostrates and speaks to their “god” at night

but mine
they define
as Illusion

I will not
forgive them
They know exactly
what they do

we cannot measure visions
or complex conversations
in layers of speech
that cannot be recorded
or parsed

simultaneously we react to
body language
word language
thought language
smell language
ethereal interactions
postural echo

no dictionaries exist
and translating Babel
we are made
another shape
of ourselves

the Tree of Life
sprouts extends grows
evolves up
through me
and fills me
with Life
spreading out
encompassing

on another good day
to die
