Agnosticism

We have triggered a back-door jihad,
a skirmish between, the sophic and the impetuous.
I take an impartial stance,
but they profess that reticent conviction
is not a thing to be had.

Dare I mock them? No, that is not my device.
They have Buddha, Mohammad, Jesus, and God.
Like a child in a candy store,
I can’t surmise what would appease me best.
I digress; what would save my pith.

I declare, my own senses have failed me.
I see the pious atheist has become immaculate,
rather than the religious zealot.
And wasn’t that their prerogative,
when they engorged us with rosaries
and Hometown Buffet on Sundays?

What has the ingenious atheist ever forced upon us?
They merely hold up the world
with what they think is certain knowledge.
While the mindful Christian
crushes the spine of Atlas,
with only their faith.

I take an impartial stance.
And I implore them not to critique my humble crux
Who am I to tell you whether or not God exist?
Or what savior to believe in?
I resonate, and I stand firmly on my shaky ground.
