Throughout my life, I claimed the realm of science, Logic and knowledge were my guiding light. Religion, to me, seemed feeble, reliance On crutches for minds lost in endless night. No fear could shake my steadfast certainty, Logic explained life's happenings profound. But buried deep within my ancestry, A fear takes root, my soul's uneasy sound. What if, in casting off religious thought, I erred in spurning faith's eternal plea? Can knowledge truly calm the fears I've sought, Or leave me empty in the final plea? When death's embrace ensnares my weary frame, Will I, in judgment's court, bow down in shame? In my pursuit of endless knowledge's might, Did I commit unforgivable crimes? A greedy thirst consumed both day and night, Sacrificing virtues for stolen times. When I'm laid bare before the final breath, Will Jesus turn away and close the door? I'll beg for mercy, reconciling death, But find my plea unheard forevermore. And what of Buddha, Allah, and the rest, Whose teachings I ignored in stubborn pride? Will they reject me, just as I professed, Or grant me grace to stand by their side? Yet as a man of science, logic's claim, I know this fear may be a foolish plight. In my beliefs, I find solace and aim, Dear God, I hope my faith is true and right.

One Humanist's Lament
I am here and I do not question why I can't comprehend the thought if I try I have been taught that religion can't lie So I must have a life after I die I am here but at night, dark and silent God loves us - So why is he so violent? That is when I reach true enlightenment Perhaps God has forever been absent I am here and my opinion is proud My view of God isn't a man on a cloud I am here and my opinion is loud I am here and my opinion is allowed

I am here
Where is time? Some people try to find it out like it's hidden in certain place But how if it ain't an objective shape instead nondimention creature? So where you can find time? It's everywhere, so Shaheed said It's the other side of coin for every single movement Where is God? Some people try to find Him out like He hidden in certain place and time But how if every single existence bring He's part in? So where you can find Him? He is everywhere, so Shaheed said Close but untouchable, Far yet distanceless

He is Everywhere
The Word was written, But my word is spoken In the silence of the sacred, In the crash of the ocean. The Word was written, But still I fumble With what to think To remain humble. The Word was written, But how does Nature sing! And how pretty the lilacs dance And how awesome bubbles the spring. The Word was written, But my mind questions, Scourges the earth for answers, Philosopher is my essence. The Word was written, But how it nods To the doubt in me That there are such gods.

The Word was Written
I've never believed anything without questioning why, The question of God is the biggest I've come and across and actually answered. God isn't a myth to comfort a weak mind, God is the truth that a strong humble mind accepts and embraces. With wisdom God lives,for with wisdom one knows that science is a portion of His creation and therefore it can't prove His absence. If God exists,He's just there doing nothing. But if God lives,He's always moving and watching over His children. Believing in God isn't folly nor illiteracy. It is wisdom and realisation that without a Creator life has no purpose and if that's the case then there's no point living.

God doesn't exist,God lives.
Why spend time wondering if You're good enough for a heaven created By the minds of men afraid of what they Could not understand?
