Sometimes I wish I had religion, 
 Then I could see
 Past my reality
 Into \'their\' eternity...
 ...But don\'t you see?
 I could never be
 That\'s just not me
 I\'m out, assertively
 
 Sometimes I wish I had religion
 I\'m jealous of those
 Who I suppose
 Have fewer woes...
 ...But decisively I chose
 No Lordly hero\'s
 And my atheism grows
 
 Sometimes I wish I had religion
 So now that I grieve
 I could believe
 Love can be retrieved...
 ...I remain aggreived 
 With no reprieve
 No hope received
 
 
 \"lest you sorrow as others who have no hope\" (1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14)
 
 I am one of the HOPELESS.
