AFTERWORLD



The cessation of life,
It's not an  option.
I snores in the middle floor in my room, in those blue shorts,
It was mortifying to sleep all day!
 This, I compared to death!
But do they sleep all day?
Uncountable claimed they're living,
Still! I haven't  found my gramps.
I guest something disguises.

Some pleasurable memories
 keeps my Soul alive.
Families and relatives, wife and children.
Summer and the winter, rainbow and the sun
Lives beautiful.
Am I missing these as well?

When I remember my struggles on earth,
I felt  getting away from earth to find some rest.
What if no fate return me?
What if is not pleasant there?
A place where no mother have conceived you.
How would that looks like?
But still!
We all last there,
I am soak in the empathy of fear
We all getting close to the unknown destination.
Hmmm phobia of after world!
