Eternal Life
What gain is eternal life
whose purpose would it serve
To live forever and ever and ever
like a sloth you would live
No need to rush, no need for hurry
is there really a deadline in eternity
Why have clocks, would eternal exist in time
are calendars relevant anymore
You got forever and a day and a day and a day...
Will progress be necessary, just let it be.
What is is
What was was
What will be will be
All lingering in a cosmos without edge
Existing in forever
Why get excited, bother with boredom
Just living on and on and on...
Can there be completion in eternal
If there is an afterlife
Was there a before life
Who would share forever
If eternal are there others like you
Or would lesser forms of life exist for your amusement
Did a monkey fall from a tree and evolve human
Did God create us in his image
Prefer the God route
but do like bananas.
