The Soul

Life is but an illusion
No one can ever explain
The ups the downs 
It is just filled with constraints
It can be filled with happiness
It can bring you sadness as well
This life we live is just a soul 
That is placed in a body 
Which is just a piece of clothes
One day the clothes will get old ripped and thorn
That is the time death is near 
Where everyone will start to fear
When will people in this world 
Ever understand and come to realize that we never die in this world
The soul is always alive even after the body dies this is what a lot of people fail to realize
They go to funerals and they cry, 
They lament over a dead body failing to realize that the person they once loved is still alive
Just cannot been seen or cannot be heard 
But they still watch over like a bird
A soul is everlasting in this world 
So please everyone live and learn
Takes care of the ones you love
When they are here on this earth 
Don't wait until time to burry them in the dirt
Or when they go into the flame to burn their remains
There is no point is spending the world of money on a dead body that only belongs to mother earth
Spend that money when they are alive as there is nothing for them to appreciate when they die 
So I ask everyone please open your eyes  to what is true in life treat all people with love and respect before they leave this world 
And do keep in mind the soul always lives on.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
