NO ATHEISTS IN A FOXHOLE

He was a Christian of the most devout kind

Who had always been taught by his elders

There were no atheists in the foxhole at war

He and his Muslim comrade both praying

Elbow to elbow in the midst of a firefight

Wondering if his friend’s God would suffice

Both of them eyeing their atheist comrade 

As the mortar shell exploded on top of them

The report later stating that all three died

Instantly upon the impact of the mortar shell.
