Agnosticism

Existence and what's after the end is unclear

Religion, turn from reason and live without fear

Oblivion, logic tells us that nothing awaits

The answer, is it worth what the question creates

Go and ask the scientist

Go and ask the holy man

Both will claim to know what follows death, so in our wisdom

Agnosticism

Immortals are approaching but are yet to be born

In science, new paths are forged and the old are forsworn

And mankind will construct his own heaven thereby

Though meanwhile we're among the last of those doomed to die

Plead and beg the physicist

Ask a kind word of a friend

Neither yet can help us, so we shrug or make our attrition

Agnosticism

Miracles and the wonder of a child

Superstition and the outsider reviled

Brave men venture into vast new fields

Future dawns and new miracles revealed
