Atheism

No offense to Christians

Look above

 

What do you see?

 

…

 

Hundreds of fields pleading

HELP US!!

 

Ignorance like dust

Desperation like water   

 

Don’t worry God will save you

God loves you

God understands

God will take the pain away  

 

believe

 

Wait for something so fall from the sky

and make everything better.

 

And if you die in pain, don’t worry

you will be rewarded in heaven.

 

believe

 

A man made miracles and

floated to the sky

 

believe

 

believe

 

believe

 

believe

 

and don’t think too much.

I like the idea of the poem, but i feel as though it's angry. And i have a hard time with someone being angry at God, or religion, when being an atheist, how can you be angry at something that you don't believe exists? So I like the idea, i just with that it focused more on the absence of anything divine instead of mocking God.

But other than that, this is a good poem, if flows well and it was an interesting read.

As an Atheist myself, I understand and appreciate this poem, and I thank you for writing it. I try to be PC about it a lot of the time, since I know that my religious views, or lack thereof, are controversial at best, but sometimes, you just have to vent your frustrations.

I especially like: "And if you die in pain, don't worry, you will be rewarded in Heaven." I understand that people need this sentiment in order to escape from the pain too great in their lives, but it seems to me that we can't know for certain if there is a Heaven (to be rewarded with) or a Hell (to punish the people hurting us), all we can know for certain is the life that we have now and all we can do is make this life as much like Heaven as we can for each other.

Thank you for the poem, and also, thank you for the review. I appreciate the compliment.

You know, I have felt the exact same way. I really liked this poem.
There is passion in your words, and some hope of understanding.
