Pub Ponderings and Ramblings

Here he was again
In the pub: Pint in hand.
Pondering on life again.
He did not believe in God,
But did not know for sure
if He existed-
And did not pretend to know.

He he was drinking poison
(Intoxicating liquor)
Why should he want to
Spend time and money doing this.  It made no sense.

Yet he found himself wanting to.

And of course, after drinking he would crave unhealthy food. 
Some chose to hasten their death with cigarettes-
He was not so inclined.

Each day on the news there was a crisis.
Could God not intervene-
Or are we praying to the wrong God
And annoying the real one?

He often felt angry with the world
But two pints had taken the edge
off his frustrations.
  He was a single man with
No desire for a girlfriend or wife so
He would die a biological dead end.

Death.  Yeah.. 

"What you embrace dissolves" he'd read
And indeed, every circle of friends he'd ever embraced had disippated with people going separate ways.

So it goes.

Rainforest destruction.
Building on our green and pleasant land.
Pollution 
Global warming.
Wars and so forth.

He should care-
And kind of did-
But he was half- drunk and half- happy

And in any case:
Isn't truth whatever you wish to believe?
He did not understand the world and its intricacies.
