Who the Devil am I,
And what have I become
Why on Earth am I here
In life what have I done
After this what happens next
Have I made my contribution

Or am I due some retribution.
What will be my legacy
Who will know what I have done
Will anybody but family notice
Who will see that I have gone
Is there something out there
What comes next I muse
Should I start believing
What have I got to lose
Is there somewhere up there
Is there another life to come
Have the holy people got it right
With a Heaven there for some
Should I improve my chances
Perhaps I should mend my ways
Is it too late to change my mind
As I approach my Autumn Days.

The argument wasn't powerful enough to sway me to go back to church, but it did bring on a logical mathematical point
