Living Is My Religion
Atheism's beauty is newly welcoming.
Beliefs of God dissipating, fastly waning.
My morals mocked, trashed, disregarded around me.
I remain lost, unseen - For God is a lazy, scientific flee.
Religion has mystified me in its paradox of no evidence.
So instead I cherish life's priceless joys: keys to brilliance.
Dependent on the now, dependent on myself.
My laughter eliminates agony, and I sustain my health.
Each day that grants good spirits is the one Heaven I am sure of.
Afterlives are the fool's gamble, but the wise make life enough.
I inherit success, wealth - personal peace, for I am bravely tough.
Fools need fear to do good, but the wise need no hell or biblical reads.
I live true Atheism: my actions reward each healthy night of sleep.
Only in my death shall I lose my religion - The belief that my one life is worth living.
