On Unbelief

On Unbelief

 

When in the beginning God created,

And none were around to observe

Pureness of the world not ill-fated,

Glorying in light of the word,

 

The world was neither anomaly

Nor inexplicable, mysterious fact,

All matter designed with a purpose,

Carrying on its wondrous act.

 

Though many men were in doubt

Of wisdom from times long past,

They said all was in less than a pinprick,

That method sprung forth from a blast.

 

That desire’s all to be lived for,

Lust and the limits of flesh,

All world consumed in our four score,

Blackness eternal in death.

 

The beasts in the fields, our fathers,

Our spirit’s dragging down slow,

The angels we’ll never aspire to,

The God we’ll never know.

 

The world we’ll make in his absence,

I’ll pray you could not tell,

From the heaven that is o’er us,

That it’s soon struck down towards hell.
