Checking Out

We are here.
Of that there
seems 
little doubt.

Why, or how
there seems
much doubt.

Some say it's due
to the
divine.

That, to me
seems like a
 punt.

Humans have 
always 
used gods/god
to explain 
the
unexplainable.

Gods are a 
throwback 
to ancient 
times, used
to comfort 
and explain.

Many still cling 
to this idea,
an ancient idea.

Might there be
a different 
explication?

Might we be
eternal 
beings?

Moving through
different realms
of existence?

Learning as
we go.

Checking out of
one, 
moving onto
another.

Keeping 
Immortality 
fresh and
new.

Why not I say.

So, live this
life to its fullest.

Then,

get ready for the next.
