The Atheist

The Atheist

Who made the clock on the wall?
Or who made the tennis ball?
The atheist has no hesitation
That these are things of creation

Who then created the earth?
None, he answers without mirth

And who did create universe so vast
That its enormity makes man aghast?

No, no, none, cries the atheist
I believe in God, not the least

The earth, the universe, just happened all
God is a creation of minds small

When told: every effect does have a cause
The atheist asks, after a pause:

Who created God then
And who created God's creator, and when?

A beginning does have every effect
If you, O atheist, would but reflect!

But God - an effect He is not
He has no beginning slot

HE always has been and always will be
HE is not a creature like honeybee

If God be there, the atheist says,
Why games of cruelty He plays?

Why are innocents cruelly killed
While poor suffer, coffers of rich get filled?

The atheist speaks like frog in well
On questions unknown does he dwell

What knows he about things outside
His narrow well-view, worldwide

What knows he about child that dies
In distant land, or why there a woman cries

Individually, or collectively, no man
Knows the reasons fully, nor can

Reasons are known to one Entity
And to none else, of a certainty

That Entity is the Creator of all
Whom the atheist doesn't call
Poor fellow's bound to have a great fall

For, refused he has to open
Basic objective of life human.
