Atheism Poem by Jake Howard

Weakening arms and a stopping heart
Make themselves known and I know:
That I'm as mortal as most

This clause
I dreamt
That all's
Not spent
Is false
I know
It ends
I know

Stopping, quitting would've held it off
Though even without that I'd think
That something divine would make itself known
And force me far back from the brink

Not some God or some bright light,
But a reasonable request to whoever
Saying: 'I've had thought and vision for sixty years,
The end can't exist, I'm forever. '
