The Cry

by Michael Pain

Here I am, 
doubting your existence, questioning your omnipotence.
To you they plead their case, 
to all you refuse to show your face, 
in the eyes of the believers, the congregation, 
I am condemned to hell, deserved damnation.

Because I choose to think freely, 
because I do not listen to the cries of the holy man.

What we need is a skeptical curiosity and constant inquiry, a curious mind, drawn toward all possibilities; and when we cultivate that, the desire to deeply investigate naturally arises."
