THE BIG LIE

The earth has no soul. 
The earth has no spirit. 
The earth doesn't believe in an after-life. 
The earth doesn't believe in eternity. 
The earth doesn't believe in God. 
The earth has no brain. 
It reacts to its body and nothing else. 
Like most humans, 
it goes around and around chasing its tail.
We are children of the earth. 
Why should we be any different than our mother? 
We have no soul. 
We have no spirit. 
Why should we believe in an after-life? 
Why should we believe in eternity? 
Why should we believe in God?
Brainless, we listen to our body and nothing else. 
And we spend our time chasing our tails.
The scientists predict that one day 
the earth will disappear from the universe. 
No tears will be shed. 
We know that one day 
we will disappear from the universe. 
A few tears will be shed 
by those who will soon disappear from the universe.
The earth is a fragile place that we are slowly destroying. 
We are fragile creatures bent on self-destruction. 
While climate change inflicts permanent damage on earth, 
we turn to drugs, drink and dames 
to inflict permanent damage on ourselves.
As we celebrate Christmas, 
we should never forget that Santa Claus was a big lie. 
Unlike the earth, 
we fool ourselves into thinking that there is hope. 
Long before Trump, there was the Big Lie.
