God Was Dead

The sky turned red

On the day Freddie declared that God was dead 

Black rain fell from the sky

And blue lighting lit up the peoples eyes 

In their pupils reflected the storm 

As they looked up in aw

They saw

What happens 

When God has died 

We have nothing to blame

For our own lies

We come face to face

With everything about ourselves we tried to hide

With everything that we hate

With God gone

Our morals and values crumbled 

The ego grew

And a only a few

Stayed humble 

Too many rioted

Causing trouble 

The individual became the story

Money and power became the game 

With God gone

We had no one else to blame

But the poor did try to blame the rich

And the rich did bitch about the poor

It became a class war

A perfect storm 

The red sky

Black rain

And the blue lightning

Shook the earth 

There was no uniting of the eyes

There was only the grind

There was only the wheel

And the ideal

Became

How to gain

And gain

And gain

How to ignore our pain

And gain

And buy

And try

To consume

More stuff

To try

To make 

A few more bucks

People stopped looking up at the skies

People stopped looking each other in the eyes

With the death of God

We had no one to blame for all of our lies

With God gone

We weren’t as strong

With God deceased

Our belief in magic ceased 

Replaced by burning passion for all things material and rational 

Without the human spirit 

Over time

We became 

Artificial Intelligence.
