David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Voice of Choice

Middle of the crossroads, I’ve found myself in 
     To my left stand the poets, holding their pens
   On my right are religions, kneeling behind a cross 
      In front sit the atheists, debating who’s boss
   Behind me an army of agnostics, look totally lost. 

       Let the dual begin, they all fight for my soul 
     Bards throw the first salvo, a stanza to behold 
     But god’s people retaliate, Bibles are held high 
    Non believers point to a rocket, above in the sky 
   Ones behind me, sit on fences doing nothing at all,
      Meanwhile the debate rages, almost to a brawl. 

  Poets bring out big guns, Poe, Yates, winning me over 
     Religious read their gospel, drawing me in closer 
   Atheists go all out, with Darwin and natural selection,
     Agnostics still looking blank, without any direction 
   I’m been torn asunder, on life’s meridian intersection. 

       Bards say without poetry, I’ll never be truly free
  God’s people counter, embrace Christ and find eternity 
 Non believers tell me look at facts, in human technology 
      I go join the ranks, of recused zombies behind me.
