What Do You Believe?


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?
