If GOD is Yes,
by John T. Mathis
Winter comes but once a year,
Does it draw your frozen tear?
Does it yawn or does it wake,
To take your heart,
For anysake?
Does it mount,
On endless fear?
Your endless ponderings year to year?
God, if yes...
God, if no...
In any case,
It's a brutal blow.
If God is yes,
Then down you'll go.
If God is no, then you'll melt like snow:
Away into nothing,
And black as the night,
You won't even feel it,
Not even a fright.
At the end of time,
If God is yes,
And you take him,
You'll be blessed.
If God is no, and you say,
"Dear God, to you in Heaven pray;"
You will be with all the rest:
Into nothing-
Nothing hest.
But If God is yes,
And you say no,
Forever Fire-
You will go.
