(of course, you know I'm reading about the flue outbreak of 1918)
The Atheist Reconsiders
Strings could not convince me
nor the Northern lights,
swans
or a baby's smile.
Gandhi did not persuade me
nor the Beatitudes,
Sarah's laughter
or Fannie's courage.
It took the simple complexity
of the influenza virus -
older than humankind,
yet so perfectly matched
to man's RNA
to be the perfect killer
This wonderful machine
could not be the result of chance,
even if the universe were 10,000
times its presumed age.
