Faith
Faith

I was on the road to Damascus,
when I fell off my donkey.
No, wait, it wasn’t quite like that,
I wasn’t going anywhere,
never been on a donkey,
but I fell off anyway,
figuratively,
when I met God.

It was slightly inconvenient,
my atheist faith vaporised like that
and my painstaking philosophy
gone in a moment of vision,
but it’s hard to argue
against the truth
when you know it
personally.
