Questions about Death


Questions about death Of all the questions you might want to ask about death, the only one you ever hear is what becomes of the souls afterwards? No interest in how they have passed across the realm of existence into the fallacy of eternity or if their dammed souls are summoned unto judgment, shackled to each other with burdens of perpetuity. Are they the icy darkness that terrorizes our children's closets? Are their whispered facts shared with us through the fragility of the wind? Or do they remain silent, relishing in the unknown, spiritedly sashaying around, with the cool knowledge of eternity that is a secret to us? What about their former relationships? Does the advantage of being invisible allow them to divinely dine with former lovers, or haunt them with hearts of justified retribution. If death really does drive a carriage, may it choose who it transports? No, theologians and ministers are the best at informing about the dammed souls. The only legitimate answer for what transpires after death is given in the Book of Life. The question is designed by parents, simply as bribery, telling the small, greasy faced children what will happen to them when they die, if they're not good. They wander endlessly from the roads in Rome, traveling calmly in the sinister of knowing.
