It has been said, “There are no atheists in a foxhole.”
In protest, I say, “I think that is not the story whole.”
None on planes, none on trains…nor a hostage situation.
None on boats, none on floats…nor a skydiving vacation.
It is true that belief comes upon those facing an end.
Yet, no god’s been seen putting halt to War’s Engine of Men.
He’s yet to prevent any holocausts or genocides.
Not involved AIDS, Cancer, Climate Change or Rising Tides
So, for me, there’ll be no reckoning upon my deathbed.
If he exists, he will be answering to me instead.
