Fundamentalism

Is it a fundamental notion,
that life can be, without a god.

Is it to cry up at the sky,
of our intent to dwell

into eternity

then to draw savage blades down
through forever scream shattered air,

toppling towers.

Is it a fundamental notion, that our
children should grow up unbroken, by god

looking on and saying nothing
doing less than hell would have you

remain a father, figure

stretching all that's wrong, to the rite -
passing on a world of fright,

a path forever falling - taken.

Is it.

It is only

the fundamental notion that life can be

(without a god) Atheism unnecessary.

It calls us only to stop ourselves
all ways and to ask endlessly.

Searching questions.

Inside our expanding limits, knowledge
over uncertainty is all that rules

allowing our wings to take flight
from an organised jumble of ideas

refined by time,

new minds.

It is a fundamental notion, that our
children should grow up unbroken, by god.
