Where do we go after we die?
Are we all so truly so pure and virtuous at heart
That Heaven's pearly gates will open wide and free
For everyone?
Or are we all truly evil and baneful at heart
That demons should kick and shove us into Hell's
Boiling hot red
Where the only cool we'll feel
Is the flapping of Satan's wings?
Will we reincarnate into an animal or a human being
Depending on how we've lived upon this Earth?
Or whether or not our mission is complete on Earth?
Is there such thing as a Nirvana?
Or any afterlife?
Or do we come from nothing
And die from nothing,
Letting the bugs gnaw at our decaying flesh
Or our ashes pollute the air as particulates
When cremated?
What do you believe?
