A Son of God? Edit 1.0003 erthona, billy,leah,71deg

[tectak]

A call, a cry, a father’s name; a million heads turn round.         
No John, or David, Pete or Mat will bring Mohammed down.         o.k, it´s about islam ...  No
Saints infest the west but east is where the sneaking thief                 .. no it is about every religion, is it?           Yes
steals the sons from precious life;                          
named in good faith to limit strife,              talking about reincarnation beliefs here or  the ever-paralyzing paradise hope?No. We name our sons with respect for our god, apostles or prophets, in hope of favour. No fuckin chance. You die if your head is removed from your body with a machete or a bomb...names witheld. Just call me Walter and weep.
all synonyms for grief.
A century, millennium; time all but bombed by history.
The curse of being son of man eats hearts and souls; a mystery
made secret by your place of birth, unsure of what life means,                    born into your religion? the best proof that no religion can be right yesish
the young treat death as blessed demise            
to trade for early paradise;
and everlasting dreams.
Love when you can for gods are strange, and do not love you back.          
Why else do mortals fight their fights, in holy lands, in black Iraq,           for money, for resources, for strategic issues? for defense? No. These are not godly reasons but they sure con us all in to war.
in sunlit places, made for peace? They kill us with commands              
to maim, to glorify your lord.                yes, what is considered gloryfying god does too often maim the idea of him, if that´s the contradiction you wanted to expose you pointed it out most sharply.          yes  
Oh how we play on things absurd
right into hell’s hands.                    what i wonder is if no one ever had invented a god, wouldn´t the history of mankind play into "hell"´s hands in a very similar way     Subtle point missed. No heaven, no hell.                  
Tectak being politically incorrect. Should I be bothered?

Hi Tektak!
this caught me at once for its language and topic. sadly i don´t think i get the whole meaning which is surely not a problem within the poem.
you may excuse me for trying some interpretations, there is no useful critic i could offer, at least at the moment.
greetings,
christine

.....but you did indicate that meaning is divisible and like an atom can be split. To understand partly is infinitely better than not understanding at all....and I thank you for your interpretation thus far. You may need to listen to Peter Hitchins for your
opinion, if not your understanding, to be complete....but in the meantime, yes, it is a humanist's  cry against all shy gods...who whisper but never shout out, never manifest themselves in clear omnipotence, move no mountains, stop no wars, bring no water to the thirsty, let starve the innocent, and watch the infected die.....sometimes one could believe that god did not exist.
Now are you any wiser or just better informed?
Thanks for your comments.
Best,
tectak
