An Atheists Humble Prayer

Rating: 3.3


Under the bright arc lights
Before the anesthesia slowly takes over
And the hooded doctors seeming smile
The atheist casts aside his vows
And fervently prays for forgiveness
To the powers that “may be”
To take care of his body
When he “briefly”, ceases to be
And later on if he survives
Praise the surgeon and his science
For keeping his atheism going......

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The moment of intense doubt comes only when you are on the edge, walking on the razors edge of life and death. Most non believers in God prefer to err on the side of caution... at least till they open their eyes after the surgery!

So amusing, your humor once again sheds a light on the subject. When theory meets reality. Your writings always leave me asking for me!

One of the preachers once remarked this way: any man would seek God under two circumstances 1.ll health 2. Loose money And this read vividly explained it!
