Lifedance

A believer

A believer,
A believer stops believing
when there’s nothing left for him,
and he grows inside of him a tumor
of hopelessness and desolation.
A believer
that had stopped believing
eventually will turn back to his faith
for faith is stronger than experience.
But when an atheist cries out “God”
you know this is a paradox
born out of utter desperation
desperation that would persist,
for it needs much hopelessness to cry out
to someone you don’t believe to exist,
but that you believe is your last
and only
chance to be heard.
