Ancient Fiction

Ancient Fiction
Tired of ancient fiction
Tired of superstition
I fear no hell
Expect no heaven

Tired of irrational rituals
Tired of a lack of miracles
No evidence forthcoming

We are born non-believers
Then led astray
Ideas from our beginnings
Myths of the cave
Ideas we should have outgrown
Poison modern living

Time for joined-up thinking
The same rules applying to everything
Why the privileged protection?
Faith is not a virtue
Faith is not untouchable
Everything’s there to be questioned

Such groundless assertions
Shouldn’t go unchallenged
Belief is not above
Rational inquiry
Prayers for the victims
The definition of irony

Tired of ancient fiction
Tired of superstition
I fear no hell
Expect no heaven

Tired of irrational rituals
Tired of a lack of miracles
No evidence forthcoming
