Inventing Hell

All on our knees, afraid to stand
or God forbid walk
Hiding from the infinity,
and awaiting reassurance
of safety and righteousness.
Because the evolving monkey
when turning its face upward
had to fear the sky
and hide itself in caves.
Because the primitive man
attributed his own raw brutality to the heavens
and invented the Hell
where he would place his enemies.
Because we lock ourselves in homes
keeping a watchful eye on our neighbors
and distancing ourselves from the sky
and distancing ourselves from nature.
But we were never given any reason to be afraid
from the moment free will came to us we had a perfect system
of food, growth, death and renewal
of art music and culture
All laid out in front of us.
And what that was asked of us in return
was only that we trust it
and that we sustain it.
But we looked up into the sky
and the whole world wasn't enough for us
We screamed in selfish fear
and then invented Hell.
