    Agnostic: a god without a paradise

    The sky fall's
    I tear
    step backwards
    look at phoenix;
    she lies in cinders.
    No Christ,
    the only hope lies
    in my palms.

    I emerge
    a god without a paradise,
    shading my wisdom
    on this path of darkness.

    Lacing my heart with courage,
    for no past
    exist
    and the future in the unseen
    heaven
    now a phantom, never again promised.

    I quote my thoughts
    as bible
    planting philosophies
    in my unborn seed, the disciple:

    they shall hate you for what ever you do,
    live not by scripture but by good.
    Embrace all men, even those who lovely stare,
    in face of evil, be aware;
    every deed is returned thus be wise;
    do these and you shall find yourself a paradise.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
