In ATHEISM, Cyrus attempts to explore what it

means to be an atheist. On the path to understanding

atheism, Cyrus examines the meaning of selfhood

and awareness through poetry. He discovers the path

to enlightenment starts from within and is aided with

the knowledge of what lies without. Cyrus discovers

that atheism is an evolving process best observed

through empathy, affection, honesty and moral/

ethical integrity. He realizes the journey to become

an atheist is an individual effort to transcend oneself

and aim for enlightenment.
