To the Believers by Abraxas-within, literature

Literature

To the Believers

To those who dirty their knees in prayer Who beg for forgiveness all night and day I say your Almighty Lord is not there Can't you see you're wasting your lives away? What is this deity, but a tyrant? The source of anger, ignorance and pride In his name wars are fought while good men stay silent Who can be beaten, with God on their side? He's all too human, as one would expect Of a being born in flawed mammal minds We're worshipping ourselves, when we reflect On the qualities of man that spellbind. No divine hand moves o'er the lands and waters The cosmos don't rely on a design As for us, the stars above are our fathers Our mot

the day we died by greenleo94, literature

Literature

the day we died

It started when space imploded you pulled me back, landed me on the moon, so we could sit in the vacuum silence and watch suns spiral down to hell. You radiated, my minuscule flare, your worn heat baked my bones brittle, but it somehow made me stronger. - It ended when your eyes slid lateral, fractured feelings leaking out in tears; it was the first and last thing I ever saw again. This ridiculous happenstance, simple in its impossibility, was what broke us apart: While solar light is beautiful, it blinds when reflected by automobile metal.

Waiting by PrideofPanem, literature

Literature

Waiting

We are still waiting for the thunder from the distant stars, The echo of mortality, the whispers of a storm, half-remembered, in sepia-coloured hallways in buildings that smell like books. Time gets slow in waiting, ghosts are formed from the wanting, taking shape in the spaces where sunlight, or moonlight doesn't touch. The stars shake from the vibration, and the ghosts shimmer in anticipation, but we can't hear your voice in the dead of the night.

To Build A Human by BatmanWithBunnyEars, literature

Literature

To Build A Human

I wonder if I died last night. I once wondered if I had died the night before. And that's not even the strangest thought I had that fateful day. But perhaps I should start from the beginning… I had been thinking about the troubling philosophical issue regarding the hypothetical teleportation device that uses quantum entanglement to instantaneously transfer data, then uses that data to exactly replicate the individual in the new place and simultaneously destroy the original. The new copy is like a twin with all the same memories of the original, right up to the event of the teleportation, creating a perfect illusion of transportation

Write What You Know by TheBrassGlass, literature

Literature

Write What You Know

Once upon a time, a young woman was so in love with books that she decided she wanted to become a writer so she, too, could create loveable stories. She read everything she could about writing. Then, one day, she found herself in a book store where she bumped into an old man among the shelves. Turning to apologize, she discovered it was a venerable, much-loved author. As soon as she could find her voice to speak, she said, "Oh, sir! I know you are very busy, and so I would just like to ask you one small question: what is the best piece of advice you have for a beginning writer?" The old man smiled and said, "Certainly, young lady. In fact,

Apologies to Lao by fllnthblnk, literature

Literature

Apologies to Lao

Each day is its own microstep-- since I woke from my mother's womb, I longed to mimic new words, trammel the sound until it blossomed like a newborn, and oh how I birthed stories--told them how I wanted the author's sacrosanct title once I've grown. But growing meant learning the practice of citizens and their due contribution: beast-slaying nature of please, thank you, an apology: sincere or not. Then there is time--the first breath of nine, exhalation of five, the suffocating mandate of overtime. You grow used to it: the cyclical disappearance of parents, pervasive need of sleep, a home- cooked meal's gradual transmogrific

My Bio

Hey everyone! So, where to begin....well I’m currently enrolled at a community college, trying to realize my goals of transferring to Humboldt State to major in Wildlife Biology and English. When I’m not drowning in classes I like to spend my free time reading voraciously, writing poetry and my sci-fi novel, drawing and painting, taking pictures, playing video games like the amazing Legend of Zelda series, and practicing Shou Shu (which is a Chinese martial art based on the movements of animals). I have always been intrigued by ancient philosophies and religions, which i would love to talk about if you're ever interested. As a parting message, love yourself and those around you, see the beauty in all things rather than the darkness, and remember: every action has a consequence, so never think that the things you do don't matter or don't affect the world. We each have the power to change the lives of many, starting with ourselves.
