2nd Sermon on Reason - A Few Unspoken Words

We celebrate the individual creative
Overcoming the confines of tradition
Following the death of God
And the rise of the overman
Human beings their own Gods
That created their own worlds

Much like us

And now a deity, Reason
Our purpose twofold
First, within a house of God
To vanquish His shadow from our minds
Second, as reasonable human beings
To kill out dearest Reason
And thereby transcend ourselves

To fulfill the vision of the philosopher
That the work of a great poet
Would be to contemplate God’s boredom
After the seventh day of creation

Hear the Seven Sins of today’s God,
Which is Reason
Silencing the echo
Of the Seven Deadly Sins

Hear of the old God,
How He was killed by force of Reason
And how we can kill Reason,
By sheer will,
And be free

But His shadow was long
God’s boredom was our own
For He had given us Reason
By which to recreate Him
In our own image,
Forevermore





Jason Greendyk
