the existential creationist theory

Post by sweetwater » September 17th, 2013, 10:44 am

existentialist theory
has always placed itself in opposition to creationist theory
maybe just another kind of creation

or that we are to create ourselves
as opposed to god creating us

though we did not create ourselves
as we sometimes can say
we use 'god' as a term to explain

that which is greater than ourselves

in being and nothingness
it seems to say
we have being but it means 'nothing'
or has no transcendent value

and that we have nothing in ourselves
in our being and becoming
unless we create it ourselves

seems like two very different conversations
or
that the existential creationist theory

cannot rise from the dead like lazarus
cannot perform miracles like jesus

and seemingly can only be the devil to each other
and ruin our society and economy

or create from our nothingness a something
or somethingness

or that in may be seen

instead as being and somethingness

this is not a poem in the tradition of rhyming
but it is very poetic in its climbing

Takes me back to my Sartre reading days. Good theme and poem.
