of fire and brimstone:

there is a very certain 
divinity 
to humanity 
ok ok
maybe we are less divine 
than we are naive 
and angry 
but there is a 
power that comes with 
knowing nothing at all 
and a certain 
religion 
in self destructive behavior 
a satisfaction only 
calmed by 
watching the ground 
come fast 
god is no more than
that little voice in your head 
that whispers
jump
as you peer at the ground bellow
we write books 
filled with drawn out explanations 
to drown out 
the pieces that revel in the 
tragedies around us 
the pieces 
that so easily catch fire 
and burn villages to the ground 
and we say over and over again 
we are good 
we are good 
we are good 
when we really and truly know 
that purity is not 
to be good 
it is to be unaltered 
and at our core 
we want to break what 
has not been broken
