When God a figment of
Imagination plus
When nothing ever was
Without a sense of touch
And faith a worthless cause
Panacea and crutch
Then living is a myth
And don’t amount to much

When God a hopeful dream
Believers’ paradise
When nothing ever been
Unless before our eyes
And faith some harebrained scheme
Full of holes and lies
Then living is a myth
A pause before goodbye

When God a concept for
Mentally deranged
When truth is nothing more
Than what is on display
And faith a weeping sore
Reality the drain
Then living is a myth
For little earthly gain

Bridge:
Fact without a wish
Where evidence is perfect bliss

David O’Connor
