Agnostic Apology Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKLKMNMMMN

I am a stout materialistA
With abstract terms I can't agreeB
And so I've made a little listA
Of words that don't make sense to meB
To fool my reason I refuseC
For honest thinking is my goalD
And that is why I rarely useE
Vague words like SoulD
-
In terms of matter I am sureF
This world of our can be definedG
And so with theories obscureF
I will not mystify my mindG
And though I use it more or lessH
Describing alcoholic scenesI
I do not know I must confessH
What Spirit meansI
-
When I survey this cosmic sceneJ
The term Creator seems absurdK
The Universe has always beenL
Creation never has occurredK
But in my Lexicon of DoubtM
It strikes me definitely oddN
One word I never dare to floutM
One syllable the mountains shoutM
Three letters that the stars spell outM
GODN
