What does it mean to be a saint without faith?
A saint without faith,
unswayed by heaven nor hell.
Patron of those without taint.

Unchained by fate imposed
by sanctimonious serpents
who exalt atrocities.

Patron of the meek,
for they hide hearts
of boundless kindness.

Patron of the warriors
that wish and vie
to bring right nigh.

Patron of the deprived,
who need most
to be treated kind.

Patron of the merciful
healers unquestioning
in their giving.

Beholden to no deity
of stone tome nor man
robed in false virtue.

A saint without faith,
spouting words profane:
Patron of nature humane.
