Any Real Number

Any real number divided by zero
Say that about God and you're not a hero
Among anybody in a generally large group
They will turn the offender into anatomy soup

The skeptic is kicking out the plaster legs
Further proof that absolutes are only eggs
But the bad eggs are usually tossed aside
In any matter in which the group decides

If any of them justify a belief in some hidden God
Anybody touting otherwise shall be considered flawed
And the majority of folks have some semblance of smarts
And they can justify their metaphysical stands and remarks

At the end of it all, each stance is a probability
That will lead to comfort and emotional stability
So, why bring up such a divisive point at all?
Every one of us started out moving at a crawl

Do no harm, live and let live, the essence of liberty
Freedom of choice brings philosophy upon delivery
The activist complains the majority is enslaved
Even his brethren may find his position depraved

Overall, we are unique and yet a unified organism
And I choose to view everything through that prism

I read only a few of your poems and I was wondering: Are you a math teacher?

I'm likin' this poem. People have to be open minded and respect opposing beliefs and philosophy
