FREEDOM OF RELIGION

The freedom to choose your own fantasy? Yes.
What could be more American? More liberated?
We get to pick our own God or Gods or decline.
We don’t have to justify it, prove anything except
Perhaps to ourselves, but we aren’t concerned
With evidence; we’re fine with faith and prayer.
We want to see parents, children and lovers (but
No enemies) in heaven. We’ll face death fine since
We will rise like Jesus for eternity in Paradise.
Of course eternity is a fearsomely long time
When one really thinks about it: FOREVER!
It makes one rather tired to think about it.
We won’t be counting the years I guess,
But what does one do for, say, a thousand
Years for starters? Not practice harp I hope.
