God is an agreement
between people,
a contract,
alive.
It is
sharing
beliefs without
a shred of evidence.
My name is an agreement
between people,
so designed
in pride.
But I am
the nameless,
and of the real me:
not a shred of evidence.
So much of what we tie our identities to are given to us by others, not sought for ourselves. My name, for example, was assigned to me to honor a man further back in the genetic line. For better or worse, it was not chosen by me.
But this doesn't negate a name's effect on our lives. So sometimes it is nice to consider that names, like borders or countries, don't really exist outside of our agreements.
Just Beautiful! Upvoted & Followed 😍
Thank you @introducingmo
I had a great time commenting all over your blog, welcome to the community.
Fun Facts:
I'm deeply appreciative that you like the work, I'm also enjoying reading through yours. Can't wait to see you port some of those short stories and poetry to Steemit!
Hey hey! What's your name by the way? Really enjoyed those fun facts haha! Loving your sense of humour and I'm glad that a connection was established. I look forward to interacting with you more :) I'll definitely post some creative to my account, I'll be anticipating your posts!
Very well written, and thought-provoking. As always, thank you for what you do. :D
Thanks @anarcho-andrei I'm just happy to be able to share art in a community full of talented open-minded humans
Beautiful and fascinating!
I agree, it's what we choose for our identity that matters.
Upvoted and following you.
Wow, I love that Gif!
Thanks for reading, and sharing that gif that may or may not be a future gif for a poem.......... ;)
So glad you like it!!
Your post is inspiring and I wanted to find something that sort of fit to it...
Hope you've had a great day :)
@prufarchy You are a masterful poet.
haha no way @greatdabu
I'm pretty sure I'd have to have my Sound Poetry badge all squared away to even start.
so uh, speaking of sound poems... we should collaborate on one
Most definitely. I was just thinking that same thought. The two we've done together so far came out truer than true (in my very biased opinion)
Although and Starchild
I was so blown away when I first heard Although, and then flung further out with Starchild.
Looks like a trip to Minnesota may be in the offing, it's probably been almost 5 years since I've been around that way.
That's great news! Let me know for sure :)
"But I am

I love this so very, very much!! :-)
AWESOME!
Thanks @anarchospace :) Now imagine some guitar shredding, the deep thump of hip-hop-band-inspired drumming and some Rock R&B vocals and you got my old band ;)
NIIIICE! Sounds awesome! (...he said enthusiastically as he slinked off to find some music on Youtube...haha)
I like this. Thanks for sharing.
It's great that you enjoyed this work, I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
Very good, I also dedicate myself to make these posts, would you happen to look at them? Up vote
Cool vibes. Who is to say you don't have a another name that's you REAL name ;)
Synchronicity once again. We were talking about un-naming last night and I clicked on your page to see the nameless ;) I read the poem to my husband who is now going back through your posts.
Love it.
Hearing things like that just make me glad to share these thoughts with everyone on the platform, and I love synchronicity. All the stuff I'm going through comes out here, so I'm glad there's resonance... means I'm not alone
Great post ! Today i just lost my job...i worked really hard as a waiter for like 10 years in a restaurant...worked night after night shifts but still they decide they don't need my services anymore and that they don't have money to pay me so they just kick me out . It was really hard for me to find this job because i don't have much education....i did't go to college...
The real problem is that i have a debt of 759 $ to my apartment rent and if i don't pay till the end of the month they gonna kick me out from my own home. I don't have friends and my family won't lend me any money...
My only hope now to raise this money is steemit...i like it alot here and the community is very nice...
Please if anybody would like to help me , a upvote would be awesome and would help me tremendously to raise the money i need .
Thank you very much for your help and i hope you have a great day .
