Omni Absurdum, By Brian37
Offline Her legs weak
Her breath short
Her age a condition
No one escapes
Such independence
In shackles of time
Eating away slowly
At her body
And around me
Offers of comfort
From fictional friends
They'll pray for her
While real doctors
Do real work
To find cause
To extend her ride
He is watching
He loves her
With folded arms
While she struggles
"I can do this"
So says her brain
"I'm slowing down"
Says her body
And dear daddy
Thinks about priorities
Such as logos on money
Or in pledges
He thinks about politics
And who to put in office
Not about my mother
Or what he could prevent
It is my fault
Or her fault
Or Eve's fault
Or "free will"
To call him "all loving"
Is vomit inducing
A retched claim
Deserving of scorn
She gives and gives
And so to me
She is always better
Than lame deities
Omi absurdum
Holds no light
To the real love
My mother does bring
So if said claims
Were to be true
Fuck your god
A deadbeat jerk

Nice Brian. Is she still recovering?
Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.
Yea, she had more cheer in her voice today, but still sounds winded. It just sucks for her that her independent mind isn't matching up with the age of her body. And it certainly worries me watching her try to still do things that once she had no problems with. She'll be on oxygen for the next two weeks and they are getting her a portable one either today or tomorrow. She does sound happier today. That is something.
And especially now, when I hear about people's pet gods knowing my mother doesn't deserve this, and the only reason it is happening is because of health history and age, not some test, or punishment due to a magic dungeons and dragons battle. it fucking pisses me off hearing that shit now. Fuck any god claim that would suggest such a wonderful person deserves the watch of a deadbeat security guard who's only goal is to gain more fans. My mother is REAL and is certainly more deserving of love than the self centered prick people call a god.
If such a god were real, I would kick the bastard in the nuts.

Relax Brian37. Death is part of life and no one has lived more then one life time, not ever!
I went through the same thing with my mother several years ago, it is not easy and it was never intended to be. My mother smoked 2 packs of ciggerettes a day for most of her adult life, she died from conjestive heart failure (agrevated by cigerettes- no doubt). She also had a medical degree and worked as an ICU unit {Intensive Care Unit} specialist for over 20 years.
My last conversations with mother involved discussions about her upcoming landmark 75th birthday celebration. I knew she wouldn't make it, no one else thought so either. Yet it gave her a future to plan for. Her attitude was in the right direction. Her cognition was skewered in several different directions. Her grandson stop to see her on his way FROM Augusta to Millinocket on the same day she was taken from her room to dialysis treatment down the hallway, IN Bangor. She told me and several other people that day that Joey stopped in to see her then TOOK her to Millinocket for dialysis and it was no use trying to disuade her from that opinion.
She was at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, one of the best in New England, Millinocket where Joey lives is 130 miles round trip away and no one is ever shipped there for treatment from Bangor. It' smore likely a teenage pregnant virgin was thrown on a donky for a 100 mile run to Bethlaham for no reason.
I have no magic answer to your pain or frustration, only that I have been there, mother passed away in her sleep 2 months before age 75, try not to let schock and angur overtake your rational side. All things come to pass weather we like it or not.

Ken G. & Brian37 My mother claimed to be a good Catholic to the end, But way back in the late '60s she told us all ( 7 children) not to let anyone prey for her if she were sick. Did I mention she was an ICU specialist and ran into the creeps Ken G. wrote about on a daily bases---- for 20 years + ---- and figured out the value of preyer 20 years before the Templeton foundation.
