We'Re Not Alone
Watching the ocean waves breathe in and out,
nagging truths lap at the shores of my doubt.
And I search the sky for traces of God
amongst trillions of stars scattered about.
Walking upon the same sands, martyrs trod,
I find their beliefs basically flawed.
For I do not believe in damnation;
or else unconditional love's a fraud.
Morals form our soul's faith-based foundation,
sin; is yielding free will to temptation.
And these thoughts cascade like unceasing waves
as I contemplate hell and salvation.
Obsessed by what may lie beyond our graves
we willingly become religious slaves.
And seek guarantees, scared of the unknown,
reassured by prayers that belief saves.
I cannot comprehend God on a throne;
nor Man as a sinner that must atone.
For; I believe God's love is eternal
and unconditional; we're not alone.
