A non contest poem.

An age-old dilemma, Sages and humanity wonder aloud, The death will get us the deliverance from the body, But how would I set my soul free? Scientifically the day we die, everything ends, The ashes to ashes we meet, the life ends. Philosophically we wonder, is there a life after death? Whatever the soul is, would it find a refuge? Sometimes I wonder, what should I do to get the deliverance? Writing love poems with feet dangling in the grave, is that an answer? Reading Holy books and visiting holy shrines, would that be the way? Helping people and sharing their pain, would deliver my soul. Answers people have sought for centuries, No one has shown a clear way, If we knew, what kind of deliverance we seek, The soul would find its way of seeking Nirvana and peace.

I think it's obvious that the way back to God (or deliverance) would be living a meaningful life in which one shows kindness and respect to humanity. Good poem, Jay.
