God, <br />if you exist? <br /> <br />I don’t respect you. <br /> <br />Punishing people <br />with fits of pique <br />I would be ashamed of. <br /> <br />I could never be very Religious <br />after being taught that. <br /> <br />But if we meet <br />at life’s end: <br /> <br />you standing there <br />with Judgement’s axe <br />weighing up whether to wield it, <br /> <br />I’ll put my case <br /> <br />that I spent my life <br />trying to be a good man <br /> <br />and that should really <br />be enough for you. <br /> <br />Heaven help me <br />if it isn’t.<br /><br />Pete Dowe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hubris-of-the-agnostic/
