wishers

there are those non-believers who
really
really
wish
deep down inside
that there was a
“heaven”---
some place that they could go to when it’s all over
which would answer all their questions &
unite them with all their loved ones &
make
everything
just
right &
wouldn’t you know it,
they just can’t quite believe in the garbage that
religion gives them
& they just can’t look themselves in the mirror &
tell themselves that they are
“spiritual” or that their lives are dictated by the
location of stars in the sky & when they
were born....
so
they walk a fine line,
these
wishers
who just can’t
let
it
go

they must be the most tormented of all.
