When there came the time

To reassess the world

Darkness

Would supersede the light

Compelled by wonder

Pensive contemplations

The "how" more important

Than the "why"

Logic refutes faith

When reason

Is nowhere in sight

Phantom to me is theology

A perspective

More blind than right

Disillusioned now

From the words of the theists

The emptiness in

Such a school of thought

A cruel position

We are all trapped in

For so many questions

Answers there are not

A palliative enigma

Opium for the masses

An institution

The world must omit

That hid the truth

Behind this existence

Humans are too timid

To admit

Dilemma of endless times

Will remain until

The end of days

We spend lives dwelling

On the biggest questions

Unanswerable

It's time we waste

You must let go

If so, we drift here, lost forever

As is the dust in the wind

In this state of flux

That is the universe

At the mercy of

Our own insignificance

So as you read

This treatise bleak

From the deepest abyss

Of my mind

We stand amidst

This ephemerality

And have agreed

To call it life
