The Last Road

I share an awkward question     with the rest of humanity,
and we ask it so often, that        there's a peculiar regularity...
that being what becomes of      our soul when we depart this
earthly realm, because many    opinions differ, and the options
can overwhelm, since most       of us prefer to maintain a certain
sense of control, it's apparent     that a choice must be made
as a faithful belief will stand      out from the whole, yet if I make
this decision and choose, do      I have to give up...accepting to 
lose, or can I continue along     the way, where my habits can 
cheerfully play...even though     this path may lead to a short-cut,
causing this journey to begin,     I suppose I'll accept the outcome,
of whatever happens to me        within.
