Death for the Atheist- Ceiling Barking Dog

Death for the atheist
As the enemy fires
Is full of emptiness
As existence expires

But, then to awake
On the other side
Through the veil to break
What then to decide?

Death for the atheist

As the enemy fires

Is full of surprises

When the Earth life expires

But , why wait for death?

You can know right now

My Uncle's dog barked

At his ceiling, and how!

For five minutes or more

My Uncle told him goodbye

He risen, the dog on the floor

If a dog can know, you can...pray...try

The dog was a Scottie and my uncle was Bill McKenzie- the two were inseparable. It was as though the dog was saying, "Hey you can't leave me. Take me with you!"

Pondering the retirement of Pres. Eisenhower's saying, "there are no atheists in foxholes" as the military puts in atheist chaplains.
