The deep, dark forever abyss
death is. No pleasure, no pain.
Allow me to explain...
For the living here on Earth
praying for an everlasting life
hereafter, for best wishes and
memories of loved ones lost.
You, the survivors, remember
and name them one by one.
Does not ashes to ashes and
dust to dust explain it all?
So then, what is the use
some will say, the purpose
and meaning of life anyway?
This is for the living to decide.
Science or religion? Let the
clerics, poets and philosophers
define and proclaim. As for
you and I, it is up to us to
decide and abide. Afterlife,
the deep, dark nothingness or
the endless glory of light.
But for both believers and non
alike, death is an endless place
of no return which lasts an eternity.
But then, after life is over and done,
who’s keeping time anyway?
