I Do Not Wish Poem by Francis Duggan

I Do Not Wish



I do not wish to hear of the Valley of tears
Or an afterlife with the damned for an eternity of years
What you think of me is your business not mine
And what is your business with me does seem fine
You save your own soul since an afterlife you believe in
And leave me to pay for my damnable sin
I can only save myself from your imaginary hell
I am sure you will be happy where angels do dwell
An agnostic or atheist make of me what you may
For my soul's salvation why bother to pray
Since i believe after death i will remain as dead
You should pray for yourself and your family instead
Of wasting your precious time on trying to convert a sinner like me
Who with your way of thinking will never agree.
