Life On Earth Matters Not

When my life was spent I lay on my death bed, All bent and in torment Wondering about where shall I be led? I was scared, The truth was now ready to be bared Is there life after death, Is hell there where I shall now give my worth? It came, like a flash of lightning I never felt any painful burning I just closed my eyes And opened them to new skies He was there, a fair knight He looked at me with expectation My own spirit was shining so bright I feel my heart melting, faced with this divine revelation It was a world so still Yet, I could not refrain myself from feeling a thrill I was with God I was, at last, with the leader of the herd! A world it is, ruled by eternity, It is there, a sanctity Peace prevails The Lord, for such, entails! It matters not, he said If you believe your life was not lived Life on Earth is a temporary phase Meant to shower you with false praise Those who get attached to its false vision Keep returning to its endless illusion Be calm, be happy, here, you shall be free Free to be as you do deem yourself to be!
