Epicurus states our responsibility. <br />In all my meekness and volatility, <br />irresolute am I to appear. <br />But for him it was crystal clear <br />His thoughts on life and death. <br /> <br />Religion grasps at our own docility, <br />plays to the masses our susceptibilities. <br />He was, indeed, a pioneer. <br />It may just be strife and breath. <br /> <br />Is it beyond ignorant capabilities? <br />To pursue a fathomed possibility <br />that gods are just the last frontier <br />In modern man: imagineer. <br />No need for religion that brings hostility. <br />The atoms resume to be life and death.<br /><br />Alice Anne Gordon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-of-gods-fear-of-death/
