Amazing Drive of Destiny
On that day of our life,
Our loudest silence shall
Turn most eyes to the ground,
Squeezing tears from their once-happy, dry faces.
We shall drive a human-wheeled car through the air
As we lay down majestically, enjoying our final trip
To the dark, silent valley of destiny,
With the crowd moving slowly while they sing hymns
And praises to the Overseer of the universe.
We shall park our car in a short, shallow valley of darkness,
As we hide our faces from the face of the world,
Taking our eternal nap in a place where no light can penetrate.
In this one-way valley of no return, we shall lay down at six feet,
Looking towards the sky, as we watch our spirits
proceed to the godly heaven.
The sound of human feet, running cars, or grazing animals
May be heard, but our screams from this depth
Will never exceed an inch away.
The crowd will return to their homes,
To their women and children,
Leaving our own to despair over the good days gone,
Hoping that the holy words are true.
Our families will console themselves by believing that,
In this valley of silence, we are dancing with the angels
And singing to the Almighty Creator.
They will faintly smile, at least knowing we will never be hungry in this valley.
But the children will cry hard, thinking that
Their parents are drinking all the rainwater that floods around.
