An Opinion On Life After Death or The Afterlife

I wonder if you’ve wondered

About the afterlife

Does it exist?

Is it a paradise filled with wonders?

Or a personal hell, crafted as per your wish?

Is it different for those who’ve been buried?

And those we’ve cremated?

Or is the afterlife an incomplete death?

Like stillborn babies who didn’t take their first breath

I know demons are real                                                

For they haunt me and my friends

What if the afterlife is filled with demons?

And wicked things that know not rest?

What if the afterlife kills your demons?

And leaves you with blank pages

On which you write to your loved ones

Both living and dead

Is the afterlife an aftermath?

Of a life that your body has abandoned, but your soul wishes to have

Or maybe it’s a figment of my imagination

Brought on by too much wine?

Still, who am I hurting with my private thinking

Of what it may be like

However I doubt I’d see eye to eye

With an afterlife when I die
