In appreciation of Maxim Gorky at the
International Convention of Atheists, 1929
There is a special place that God has set
in Heaven for Good Atheists, my devout
fan Margaret’s priestly brother assures.
I tell him I’m relieved to hear I might
get there. Judging from the surging hordes
in church, the public prayers at all events
since Satan brought the Towers down, there won’t
I think, be much of what you’d call a crowd.
Right now there’s hardly anyone who dares
to disbelieve up front out loud.
So, Bernard Shaw and Maxim G.,
save me a seat. I’m one with ye.
