Belief Poem by Kela LewisMorin

I'd rather believe in something,

Rather than to believe in nothing.

Because to believe in nothing implies there is no purpose.
It implies that there is nothing below or above the earth's surface.
It suggests that there is no advanced assistance and that our existence
Can be revoked in an instant, despite our apparent spiritual commitments.
It would mean that mankind will not be punished for all their wrong doings.
And that living a good honest life will not grant you a shoe in
To something that is not indefinitely there
And that it was us who made this world unfair.

But if you believe there is something greater in place
And that this something does not have a form, figure or face.
From this something we gain a feeling that cannot be described
And although countless cynics have allied, defied and tried.
They have dedicated their entire lives to proving there is no evidence.
Because disproving that something is the only thing of any relevance.
What if confirming its presence was only adding to our negligence.

To the fact that it doesn't matter whether that something is real or not.

I am not stating that you should question or install your faith in God.

But the feeling and meaning you get from believing will make living appealing.

How would your children sleep knowing that there is nothing above their ceiling?
