Achieving the impossible act of killing God.
Achieving the impossible act of killing God. By: Akil K. It is and has always been humankinds' ultimate pursuit to discover, unmask and kill their maker. Yet, most humans live in absolute fear of even expressing such a taboo statement, let alone walk a path that ends with the slaughter of their deity. Still, what is really being discussed is not strangling the creator of all things, but rather the abandonment of belief all together.

A BLUE HAIKU
This haiku was inspired by the color “Baby Blue”. This color often mistaken for the color turquoise, has been used to distinguish between having a boy or girl at birth (i.e., the boy wears baby blue and the girls wear a pastel pink). It has also been the symbol of distinguishing ancient and old families as “Aristocrats” and not just “High Society”, “Old Money”, "swinger" and/ or “common”.
