TAKEN ON FAITH
Wearing the dark cloak of the Devil's advocate
Where is God? But within our frame
Faith is epigenetically transferred
Lack of faith is precisely the same
Through childhood indoctrination
And the leap made by our progenitors
A hand me down gene within our DNA
We are programed for belief of lore
Observance promises us immortality
Offering eternity in God’s paradise
A reward above all, or so it would seem
Expectation of endless heavenly bliss
Must be regarded by any definition
As the ultimate form of human avarice
A selfish prayer of individual interest
Unburdened from all struggles of life
Would plunge a mind into indolence
Paradise found becomes paradise lost
An omnitiant entity must crave oblivion
To gain perfection, humanity is the cost
A pristine prison, walls of endless horizon
The host of angels envies all human beings
The creature bound for blessed nothingness
Surely makes life more precious and sweet
For life’s brevity evokes notions of most value
From whence we came, we are sure to return
Extinction a gift far greater than eternity.
