Ode to the Atheist:

 

I once thought to myself,

just why am I here?

So many dark questions,

so few answers I fear.

 

I'd like a few reasons,

to satisfy my mind.

My ego is suffering,

as no certainty I find.

 

Some have great trust,

in their point of view.

How certain can one be,

that their opinions are true?

 

So I'll continue to ask,

all these questions of mine.

To remain committed,

will be perfectly fine.

 

When men pretend to know,

all the facts they profess.

Where they get this confidence,

this man can only quess.

 

I'll remain a man of questions,

truth with time I'll eke.

Those with all the answers,

will not bother to seek.

Not bother to seek?

No bother they need!

Prideful and arrogant

Boastful breed.

 

They have neither answers

nor questions beyond

the realm of the test tube's

magical wand.

 

Seeing the world

through studious eyes

colored by science

and compromise.

 

and never to question

the method used

arriving at answers

already confused.

 

For students of those

who studied in vain

are doomed to continue

and there remain.

 

They seek nothing more

than what they've found

in the realm of the physical

tangible ground.

 

all they can see

is what they can measure

all their eggs in one basket

no room for the treasure.
