THERE  ARE  NO  ATHEISTS 

Everyone has a religion,

something or someone

they want to wrap their life,

their nights and days around.

Everyone has a God

that they worship and adore:

the dollar, the bottle,

the one they gladly give their Sundays

and often the rest of the week to.

Everyone has their meanings,

their reasons for living,
their songs and their movies,

their texts, their scriptures,

chapter and verse.

Everyone has their pope,

their authority, their rock,

their traditions - they might 
not know it, but they have them.

Everyone has a love,

themselves, herself, himself,

someone or something.

Everyone has gifts, wealth,

no matter who they are,

or where they are.

Everyone has a spin around.
What's your name for your God?
Enjoy your Merry-Go-Round -
even if it's broken or your fix it.
