You May Pray To Your God Poem by Francis Duggan

You may pray to your God somewhere up there beyond the sky
Where when you draw your last breath your soul to will fly
But even for a soul with strong wings such a journey seems far
You may struggle to get there from where you now are
Yet some will even tell you that God you will find
In every good person living in or her mind
Your belief in an external God you does not guarantee
Of a life after death existence in a heavenly kingdom it does seem to me
But having said that i am a cynic a mere infidel
And my kind never bound for to where angels dwell
I am one who suffers of darkness of mind
And perhaps i am an atheist or that way inclined
If i said i believed in a life after death i would be telling a lie
I was born a mere mortal and as a mere mortal i will die.
