Notes About The Poem

"Imagine there's no heaven; It's easy if you try; No hell below us; Above us only sky; Imagine all the people; Living for today" John Lennon

Listen to poem:

Live Life Here and Now

There ain’t no heaven. 
There ain’t no hell. 
Nothing to come, nothing to become thereafter or still yet to be. 
Nothing to live or die for, as a reward. 
Nothing to pay for after you die. 
All retributions, recompenses and rewards are mortal just like your life after inception is mortal, and you are doomed to die. 
So live your life as if there is no tomorrow, with nothing carried over at day's end, 
beyond hope to be better at what you do, and what you are and can be, to loved ones and others.

there ain't no heaven
nor no hell down there below
live life here and now
