Let Us, Atheists, be Poetic

Atheism starts with
The premise that God is dead
But let us be poetic
In trying to understand
Its meaning in our lives:
God shall fall; we will stand

Let us say that we deny--
We have our own reasons why--
But let us be poetic
In practicing what we preach
Or in conducting our lives:
Happiness is within reach

Let us look away from God
Or from the 'talk' about God
But if others shall mock us
For this mild insanity
Then let us show the logic
Of God's unreality

But let us be good poets
And be free from bad habits
Of going beyond this world--
Heaven is ironical,
Of claiming for holiness,
And of being 'literal'

Verily, there is a God
(Equally, there is no God)
Therefore, we shall 'all' believe
(But 'some' are unbelievers)
Therefore, 'God is' so 'we must'
(But imagine the reverse!)

We have atheistic view
(They have higher God's eye-view)
And our poetry suggests
(Different from God's prayer)
Let us all be poetic
(That they cannot do, never!)
