The atheist, who was my friend in spirit
Saw Christians floundering for answers.
All of us were wrong, and invented.
And then, "Did Jesus go to hell?"
Cemented in two, of the three creeds...
Christians formulate that the answer is no.
There was such a face of confusion on
His handsome brow, and I laughed along.
We really don't know much these days.
But, for those of us who do---and some
Of us still do---we comprise a unique
Section of the population.
We still remember, though are drowned
Out by the noise.
Like the foolish virgins, they go to the world
And pour their oil into the cup.
They pour in prosperity, vanity,
Toil, and mating.
The wise virgins have trimmed their lamp
With memories. Of what the religion is.
It still is... of course.
But, we need to remember now.
Satan wants us occupied with this life
Here and now.
He wants the memory erased for good.
