What is the answer?

by Stephen Smith - Cancer

The clock is ticking,
No answer yet.
What to believe,
this thorn digs deepest.
Milleniums of growth,
or will of week be enough?
Will I dance with the devil,
or is a bed of ebony my final rest?
Preists, Proffesors, Peers
jumbled ideas bouncing around.
Fear pushes towards a decision,
the right one nearing irrelevance.
The clock is ticking,
No answer yet.

Reason for writing:

    My struggle with whether I believe in science or religion.  I bounce back and forth in the poem, in fear that I must decide a faith soon.
