Religion

There probably IS a “God”:

Some supreme power and intellect

Who rules the Realms.

Define your God, if you will.

There may be many gods around

Throughout the vastness of the universe

For us to pray to too.

Did God Create our Universe?

Who knows?

But what do I care?

All I want to know

Is what’s in it for me?

Will I get but a pittance

Of a few decades of Life?

Or will I live on in some afterlife,

Reincarnation or whatever?

This may sound selfish

But as I say,

I don’t care.

I resent the certainty of Death,

With every fibre of my soul.

Atheists give me no comfort here:

Only Religion gives some Hope,

Despite our history of “Holy Wars”.

So what can I Believe in now?

What Faith can sooth my soul?

Only Hope.
