Hateful atheist Ecstatic to convert With cruelty and a mean spirit A facade of compassion Fingers to point at what you can't understand, bewildered What you cannot understand, unable To point and to laugh Refusing to "come down" to a level You feel above A different level of hate A different level of love
Worshiping science You somehow can't see Science is to look God is to be Through microscope and telescope God can be seen
A rotten fruit on a dying vine Cursed to be trapped in space and time An awesome cathedral you feel is enough It doesn't worry you that there will come a day When you will be evicted Wanting more Never enough
The best you can do is to die in your sleep Or fall to the elements Anything to steal away the last 60 seconds The panic of uncertainty The all consuming fear of something unknown The dread of learning, finally finding out Finding out, in this last moment, that you're more than you thought Just in time to say goodbye, just in time to lose it Your infantile perception of space will collapse upon itself Your time is running out, second by second, precious, more than days More than years, more than a lifetime
Or perhaps defiant "I don't even care Take me away Get me outta here"
Still mocking the faithful Hateful and condescending Giving no quarter You tell me you are content With your legacy "My legacy will be more than enough" When what we'll remember Is how you used to smoke all our dope And when it came time to share You never had anything more to offer Than a lousy pinner
