Deceit
By proveyouexist

I promise you a better life, I promise you life after death, I promise you something to look forward to.
Even though we have never met, you trust me.
You will be following in my shadow for your entire life.
I am what you dream about, slave for, live for, all for us to hopefully convene one day.
Yet we will never cross paths.
I feed off of your ignorance, off your negligence.
Until the day you are not breathing on your own.
You will realize that I am your certain death and you can’t fucking stand me.

I am the future.

I trust that you will eventually get God out of your system. 
You seem to be devoting a lot of your time to something that doesn't exist for you.

The subject this poem is composed around has nothing to with a god; it has to do with the future in general. The first person narrative is referring to the future as a general idea.

Have it your way - but for me it reads better if it is about god. Half riddle, half poem. Not sure it's poetry, but I like it.

Personally I think that concentrating on life before death would make the world a better place for more people.  
 
You might think about that. 
 
Good wordage, but I think the theme is getting a bit carried away with itself...
