Nothing Value

Atheism is
Nihilism, equal parts
in a death sentence.

A number sentence
that terrifies the theist
into submission.

An irony of
hilarity since they are
of immortal mind.

Hellish afterlife
breeds a nihilism all
its own, a weird kind.

Eternal divide,
a sulfurous stew of s**t,
a sadist's wet dream.

While black holes and bursts
of gamma radiation
fades us into black.

A somber nothing
of an existence, pointless
turns around the sun.

No external god,
no granite moral code and
a few solid facts.

Nothing has value,
nothing is the core value,
it is the right one.

Rejecting gods means
rejecting divine commands
as mindless fiction.

At the same time, we
love our survival and our
multiplication.

Moral fictions or
not, we have reason'd ourselves
into moral codes.

We are a thriving
and thrifty species, the kind
that survives it all.

Atheism and
Nihilism can inspire
moral apathy,

and a fortitude
that pushes forth moral health,
wealth, even wisdom.

Atheism and
Nihilism are not parts
of a death sentence.

The nothing value
inspires a something value,
something full of hope.
