No, not godless.
There's grades,
prestige,
popularity,
status,
in short, everything that goes by the name success is a god.

But is God here???

He is -
in an understanding teacher.

He is -
in a student who tutors.

He is in -
a lunch hour discussion,
when new ideas are born.

He is in - a couple,
walking slowly to class,
cherishing each moment together.

He is -
in Life.
