Humanity (An atheist's perspective)

A spec upon a spec upon a spec
In a vast universe, it would seem irrelevant
Like the amoeba, only visible through a microscope
Yet this minute particle produces wondrous things
Ingenious inventions, literature, breath-taking works of art
Regrettably, it also yields the narrow-mindedness of religion
Personally I'm rooting for the tiny spec to make it
Though without science and reason in charge
Antiquated superstition may be the means to its end
