Poetic Expression

This I Believe
By Kathryn McAllister

I am a Bright
I don't believe in the supernatural.
I believe in humanity
and the goodness inherent within us all

I am a Bright
I don't believe in tarot cards or crystal balls
I believe that the future is bright
and created by humanity's choices

I am a Bright
I don't believe in a god
I believe evolution gave us capacity to wonder
and that's miracle enough for me

I am a Bright
I don't believe in holy law
I believe morality is wise,
and I follow because it's right

I am a Bright
I don't believe in ghosts
I believe our time on earth is short,
and honestly, that scares me

I am a Bright
I don't believe in a heaven
I believe that you might,
and could you respect my beliefs too?

I am a Bright
I don't believe in this futile conflict
I believe we all search for truth
and look in different places

I am a Bright
and I don't see anything wrong with that.
