We All Do Our Own Thing Poem by Francis Duggan

To give up on all religion is something I did not plan
Since there is no advantage in being a Godless man
As people pigeon hole you and to each other say
He cannot be a good man to a God he does not pray.

I gave up on all religion since it occurred to me
That Christ he did a foolish thing to die on Calvary
For the sins of the masses and for flawed humanity
His point in dying for human kind I somehow fail to see.

Why waste your time devout one in praying for the dead
The dead are gone forever pray for yourself instead
Of the existence of a God or of a Satan none have come back to tell
Or of an afterlife life of heaven or of an afterlife of hell.

I am not a religious person nor I have never been
I have often looked up at the sky and God I've never seen
You go to Church on Sunday your hymns of praise to sing
But suppose we all are different and we all do our own thing.
