believing (Free verse) by whispern_smoke_wisp

If all it takes for fairies to be real, is you and I saying aloud that we believe in fairies. Then perhaps, the same method will work on God. Please, all of you, say it loudly with me. Let's all agree to belive in some sort of supreme power. Then perhaps we could give peace a chance.

This is the most egregiously simple-minded philosophy I have ever read in my whole life. Apart from the grafitti on the toilet wall that says 'I didn't write this'. But that's beside the point. The point is that as soon as we all agreed to believe in this supreme power, we'd all then start to argue about what it looked like, what sex it was, what it actually did... adn then, hey presto! We have the last 6000 years of history ALL OVER AGAIN. I think I'll pass on that thanks. And at the same time, I'll pass on this poem, which isn't so much a poem as a mis-spelled, unrhythmical and ultimately whimsical bit of cracker-barrel wiseacreliness. Listen to Zodiac.
