Faith will come one way or the other



There isn't any heaven and there isn't any hell.

these were conceived for religions to sell.

If you believe in God and are wrong

you will just be another spark in the Cosmos' fire place.

But if you don't believe in God and are wrong

Faith will come one way or the other

by desire or by blunder

Better on the earth, in a nice place

Than in hell, in that horrifying place
