What Then Endures
Oh, may LOVE feel its worth, though a concept like time,
Much less Entropy's increase no longer makes sense.
Will light still earn thought's praise if no mortal speaks rhyme,
If no stars (laws exist!) more collapse to their death,
(Though the ashes of stars source what all men call life.)
When death's left with no sting, won't all knowledge seem loss
To each soul (one more 'gift?') in God's heart (like a 'wife?')
If you claim, "There's no God!" Please, Sir, prove your death's real!
Isn't faith too required to say, "No one can know?"
Don't you live life believing you feel what you feel
That tomorrow the sun greets each day at no cost?
Is our 'knowledge' just 'feelings' men trust? Can ‘truth’ rot?
But with knowledge so fragile, dares one call it real?
Yes, a “rose is a rose is a rose" till it's not!
Though loud voices on Sunday do praise God! Who saved
Them? Can servants bind God (though good works may impress?)
Is Love earned by confessing when heart stays depraved?
The 'Big Bang' the first miracle? Hydrogen gas
More the clay of life, gravity found in Star's Death!
From whose side taken Elements, 'Mother of all?'
From what marriage more stars born? All life that has breath!
Does not worship make humble both strong and the proud
And creation from nothing prove we are not Gods?
Oh, what act can immortalize one from the crowd?
In what man born the wisdom to 'feel' must mean 'pain!'
Isn’t faith when we stumble, and faith when we win,
The appropriate answer to life on this earth,
And the phantom of knowledge the heart of all sin?

Poet’s Note:
Thomas Aquinas believed God to be "Uncaused cause," but in my understanding, God is more "Evolution that evolves eternally!" Even, if all men are fools, our language is so much fun! One's 'faith' is perhaps the only thing worth investing in and one's life the only currency accepted!
