Not Only Pascal’s Wager
If God is not, and I believe,
Then my mistake shall matter none to me –
And when I come this life to leave,
I matter none to void infinity.
If God there is, and I abstain,
Then my mistake shall matter great and well –
And when I quit this earthly plain,
I matter none to He who saves from Hell.
If God is not, or God there is,
Still our mistake, for taking up this bet.
So ere our lives are done, know this –
They matter much, they might be all we get.
