An odd poem about stepping beyond faith and all that you are so certain about.

-Abandoned You-
by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


The master
Won’t come
Abandoned you
Long since
Disregarded me
Similar we may be
Ridiculous indeed
You have your faith
A system of rule
Within a margin of truth
I have nothing at all
Not a thing to believe
Accept for myself
And the lies that I tell
Wicked is my tongue
Twisted are these fingers
Perilous apendetical fools
Controlled by my mind
A beast unto itself
Out there is a warning post
In the middle of an empty field
Nailed to it is a small
Inconspicuous sign
To read, one must get close
To understand one must be
A million lifetimes away
Written with great care
It says, in not so many words
Don’t cross this point
Don’t go any further
For if you do
If you somehow dare
Then
Beyond here
Is freedom from every idea
Escapism from every faith
And a lacking of
Every totalitarian state
Out there
Beyond right here
Everything does wait
Abandoned you
The master
God of two truths
Won’t save you out there
You won’t ever be spared
If questioned as to why
If so dared
Your God way above
Such a heretic inclined
Will further reply
Along these lines
You stepped beyond
You went past every point
Willingly you stepped
Out into such madness
In that place
That home of darkness sown
I, your once proud master
Cannot and will not go
Zero is my control
Then
And just as quick
No matter the solvency of your love
Regardless of any and all connection
Instantly he will simply forget
Moving on to the very next
He won’t regret
Such regret will be yours alone
Like a wound upon your heart
Like a stain upon your soul
Never again will you know
Because
Backwards you cannot go
You will only be able to advance
To a distant place
Beyond the boundary set
And the warning post left
Abandoned you
Easy for him
Your God that is
Not so easy for you
I can’t promise what you’ll find
I can’t guarantee what you’ll see
But from your crutches
You’ll be freed
I’d let you follow me
If for a second I knew
And truly understood
Where it is
I myself am going
But of that I don’t
And always won’t
Abandoned you
Your God so far above
Never once has possessed me
I am so completely free
And if you do decide
Then so should you be…
