Whats Next?

Death is the one thing we really know nothing about accept for those who have experianced it and they dont tend to talk

death is so final, so absolute
so unknown,
no one knows what really happens after life
you can take the scientific explanation, that there is nothing
that when you die everything is just over
its possible of course, but how can you contemplate that?
I certaintly cannot.
that Ill just cease to exist?
impossible.

ive done too much, impacted too many lifes.
there must be something more.

heaven?
a place of eternal bliss?
sounds dull.
hell?
eternal torture for your sins against god?
that doesnt make sense.
reincarnation?
maybe. I Like that idea, because I love life.
I guess I wont know for a while, if all goes well.
but when it does happen,  my questions will be answered,

 

but I dont want to die

Author's Note

I dont really like the second half of the poem if you can think of something that could be done to make it better feel free to speak up

Well, I enjoy the second half more than the first. It's more revealing. It comes of almost conversational. Actually beautiful, unforced.

[Rosencrantz]

excellent piece of philosophical analysis.
