Prayer of a Dying
Atheist
Dear God,
Why am I
so scared to die?
Why do I
fear an afterlife?
What if
nothing happens?
If I just
cease to be,
Why does
any of this matter to me?
Surely, if
I suddenly blink out,
Remain but
a memory,
In the
hearts of others.
If it
matters not of my actions,
Bad or
good.
If all of
this has been a blink,
In the
eyes of existence.
If my life
and the lives of others,
Leave but
footprints and memories.
Then,
So many
opportunities lost,
So many
lives not lived,
All the
possibilities missed,
The gambles, the risks,
People not
kissed.
Is there a
Heaven?
Is there a
Hell?
Because,
though I didn't know it,
I was good
to those around me.
And though
I think you don't exist,
I'm
talking to you last.
It doesn't
make me crazy.
I'm just
covering my ass.
Amen.
