Nonsense
NONSENSE
I know there is a group of people
Who spend their entire life
Believing that the earth was conjured up
In a few moments, days if you will,
And that humans were made to appear.
I know there is a group of people
Who spend time thinking that humans
Evolved from other creatures,
While the earth itself was aging
Gracefully for a zillion years.
When I get to the Gates, and somebody
Asks me which group I am in,
I will turn on my heel and say,
Sorry, I must have the wrong Gates,
Because if that is the main criterion
For admission, I don’t want to come in.
I spent my time on earth dealing with
Real issues such as poverty and unfairness,
Bigotry, hatred, loneliness and suffering.
Didn’t have time to think about nonsense.
