agnosticism

for miles, there's nothing truly clear,
and there's no judgement targeting you.
here, only whispers survive long.

the middle platform is one step down,
but the wished-for journey extends.

hope that there is no right,
that there is no wrong.
promises for eternity,
if only life suffices,
but no one's ever sure.
as long as there is no paradise,
there is no hell.

prophets and priests take their bows,
[self-]credit their achieved missions,
and deny all complacency.

the end in perpetually near,
and the chosen path has closed.

hope that there is no right,
that there is no wrong.
they search with lights off,
only to reveal that
there are no hidden secrets.
as long as fact is truth,
there is no paradise,
there is no hell.
