    Childhood Memory

    When I was a small child
    In my eager haste
    To taste the final sweet
    I’d drop the wrapper
    In the clean tree-lined street

    My mother would say
    Her voice tired and bitter
    Now how many times
    Have I told you AP
    Not to drop litter?

    And as the autumn leaves
    Fell down from their trees
    I’d run, hurry along
    And the world would feel
    All so terribly wrong
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy
