the Godless

the Godless

Why do we need a new beginning?
A pregnant woman is not a new beginning
It's a ritual going back to the infinitive
If we accept that there is no such thing as an origin
that life on earth is ongoing, a ball of fire
hastening through the room
We, humans, need a beginning, and since we
can't find any answers, invent religions, that
has brought us nothing but misery 
through history; we are an ongoing evolution  
We are our own masters despite failures
and our leaving is also a part of the ongoing
