A Simple Man. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I am not a Christian
Nor a Muslim or a Jew
I am just a simple man.
Who has a different point of view.

I can't believe the fairy tales.
Which I was taught in my youth.
Because the evidence fails
to convince me of their truth.


I am prepared to listen to.
What you believe with due respect.
But I expect respect from you.
Though you're entitled to reject.

What I believe as being false.
A matter of selection
I dance a jig you choose to waltz.
A different dance for everyone.
