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
