I'm an athiest
I go to all places of worship.
And sometimes I get tired of these calculations
wherever I go they're around.
I read the temperature in fahrenheit
but feel it in celsius.
I weigh myself in pounds
but feel my weight in kilos.
I buy in dollars
but spend in rupees.
Wonder when this automatic calculator will lie down.
But can we ever meet without prejudices?
Like we did when we were small.
Is a coffee equal to two hours of silken silence?
It's so quiet here all of a sudden
This clickety-clack is amplified.
I know I'm not the centre of the universe
but wait, there's no need to feel smug.
Neither are you.

We are all points of rotation
Sometimes I feel that I am only orbited by black holes
Sometimes there is a star there
But only sometimes.
So now, you are the teller of stories in verse too?
Mighty impressive, this effort. And I connected too. :-)
Hehe nice. I can relate to some parts! However, I AM the centre of the universe. Mine.
You're right...pounds or kilos, it's still weight. Perhaps Shakespeare had your concerns in mind when he said "...What's in a name?" :-)
Nice one.
Christa, black holes and one star?
Heretic, I'm sure you know what i mean!
Searching, you're right. You are the centre of your own universe...who else is in it?
Ghost, these things are baffling. I swear it's taken me all these months to finally feel the heat when its a 104 degree fahrenheit outside!
Stars come and go - black holes just keep on sucking the light out of the galaxy. Ah, who cares anyway - it's only cosmic dust in the wind...
beautiful poem... you sound like a free spirit...
without prejudice
Kudos. Loved the ending :)
Inscription on a headstone in a cemetery: "Here lies an athiest....all dressed up and no place to go". I'd hedge my bets if I were you. ;) Cheers.
