SANTIAGO THE SKEPTIC / by Joe Castorino

A veritable Doubting Thomas,

Santiago is perennially sad,

If it can’t be scientifically proven,

It just makes him very mad.


He loves Nietzsche’s philosophy,

And hates all religious belief,

For him life is a filthy rat race,

Where people die in bloody grief.


Santiago goes over to Fatima,

To mock the supposed seers,

Being intellectually superior,

He will shower them with jeers.


But seeing the miracle of the sun,

His heart of ice begins to thaw,

For the sun dances in the sky,

Breaking many a scientific law.


The finger of God shakes his world,

Leaving him totally stunned and dazed,

The finger of God shakes his world,

And he looks up truly, truly amazed.
