Beginning Reflection on Religion

The following is something I wrote a while back regarding religion. I am atheist. A few poems that should be coming up soon have to deal with the faith of atheism and some other interesting topics:

"Why should I be force-fed
morality I remember wondering
at 10, not in those exact words
(can one ever remember exact words,
save savants?)
but in the essence,
just 10 and wrestling with a lion,
wanting to find my own morality.

I should not be force-fed,
I exclaimed then,
I should not be force-fed.

Foundations crumbled
in the blink of an eye:
sin abandoned and so too
Christian morality,
the extinguishing of fire
and crumbling of
the ascending stairway."
