Ontology is a word I dislike

Ontology ‘s got no  image for me

It’s a word  that is linked to the verb “be”

but in science and  statistics

and engine ballistics

We never discussed  life’s latency.

I had seen the  ” ontological proof”

That God must exist in all truth

But up on ‘t   moors wild;

Nature undefiled.

God’s face was sad,bold yet couth.

Until we met Aquinas in class

I believed in  both God and the Mass.

But when I saw they were trying

To prove  he was spying

Out of that church I soon passed.

My reasons were never obscure

Of God I am still perfectly sure.

But the theologians proof

could never lead to truth.

For their axioms  unproved  were impure
