Agnostic

I must truly confess
to find my religious bless
believing in life's holiness
and my reverence for humanity,
not in those senseless prayers
uttering some religious inanities
or engage in wars' insanities
to please some obscure
and unknown god's vanities
for I know not of heavens above
or any devils in hell below,
no gods I ever knew of or saw,
only the here and now I know,
all this humbug is speculation,
man's imaginary creation,
yet I am an agnostic,
a chap - a bit caustic,
for no one can tell,
if god forbid,
those gods really exist,
I may wind up in hell...
