Told Poem by John Prophet

Told

Told.
God.
Is the a
god?
Don't
know.
Know
what's
been told.
Down
through
the ages.
Passed
down.
Human
beliefs.
Those
who came
before.
What did
they know?
No one
knows.
Plenty
believe,
but don't
know.
Know
for certain.
Faith
is not
knowledge.
It's hope.
Atheist
believe
not.
How could
they possibly
know?
They
can't.
They believe.
Faith.
Anyone who's
an absolutist
on this
is simply
expressing
belief.
Knowledge
is power.
Lack of
knowledge
by definition
ignorance.
Humanity
is ignorant
on this.
Many
have faith.
Hope!
Nobody
knows
