    A poem by friend and fellow Humanist Tom White.  He also has another beautiful poem – A Fellow Man.

    A Godly Man

     

    A godly man once asked my why

    a fool like me could bear to die-

    that godly man was troubled much

    by needing faith to be his crutch

    he was it’s slave-  but I was young

    I pitied him and held my tongue.

    I’d rather reason with a mind

    devoid of faith and unconfined

    just seekers on the road,  no need

    for gospels,  psalms or rigid creed.

    the answer,  though,  I now will give-

    a fool like him can’t bear to live

    to bear the cross of reasoned doubt

    or stare the door of darkness out.
