If heaven exists
And hell persists
And I not believe
Then to fire I leave.
But before I burn
Let yourself learn.
If I shall feed the poor
If I shall help the sick
If I shall do even more
To reform those you call "wicked"
How stand you there
In your righteous throne chair?
Go! Do deeds thine.
As I do mine.
But I do my own just because.
Not for the heaven up above.
Without reward
I bumble toward
The hope of equality
Where people can be free.
So condemn me.
Persecute me.
Send fire and brimstone my way.
For this hectic world
The good agnostic braves.
