Atheism

Atheism 

When I grew up 
I stopped believing in God
Toys belong to the young
And Santa fanatics 
Yet
I leave small light on
In my bedroom at night 
The fear of darkness 
Never left me 
Yet
I know Christianity had
Taken hold of me 
The darkness of the sinner
Never left me 
Yet
I believe in the day
The truth must not be hidden
In Churches` recesses
Yet
Blood splash on walls tinsel 
On the ground
New Year Eve in Istanbul
The fear never left
Yet
I saw a happy child play in a puddle.
