deviant conveniences (Free verse) by J.B. Manning

We had unprotected sex Knowing you’re infected Your cum-fungus blistered my flesh On contact Memories of you resonate in my mind Like water on windows Certainty fades like Daylight and looking back is easy…fore-site blinding Love is addictive and I’m broken I want to Tie your pubic hair in knots and hang you on your contemplation Every time You say goodbye.

I'm not going to get caught up too much in this debate because I simply haven't the time, I have to put my perspective in.

I would think that someone who is so completely against and afraid of the idea that we are truly a random act of nature, that some greater being has some greater purpose for us, and that our life will not end with death is the spineless route. It takes more courage to believe that we are alone in this. That there is no god to get back at the people who do us wrong or to keep us in line. All that goes with it, the safety net, the security, and the immortality of it is all so very easy and comforting to accept. Try accepting oblivion. Not just believing in it, but being unafraid of it. Not utter oblivion but conscious oblivion. Stand up against all the challenges life has to offer with THAT understanding of how things might turn out and we'll see how strong your spin really is. Because only then is it a real spine and not a fantasy-fabrication of one.
