Villanelle: After-Life's the Centrillion-Dollar Question
Villanelle: After-life's the centrillion*-dollar question
After-life's the centrillion-dollar question
Where do we go to make amends pay for sins
KARMA* panacea for stupefaction
Who else escalates karmic evolution
Animals insects do they dog-eat-dog sins
After-life's the centrillion-dollar question
Heaven Hell be they but religious fiction
Lame constraints games to make us fight shy of sins
KARMA panacea for stupefaction
What if we on earth live lives of extinction
Who knows who comes back for what reasons or ends
After-life's the centrillion-dollar question
Whose existence calls for justification
Can Eve be damned for causes or origins
KARMA panacea for stupefaction
Who plays with our lives for delectation
Watch how EVIL triumphs over GOOD and grins
After-life's the centrillion-dollar question
KARMA panacea for stupefaction
*centrillion : a hundred times a trillion (million times million) : 100,000,000,000,000
*KARMA: the philosophy of ethical action and thought as defined by the Bhagavad-Gita. The hindus and buddhists believe in REINCARNATION which, on one level, means that the sins we commit in our lives have to be atoned for in the next and the next, until we rid ourselves of the need to be re-born (samsara), through MOKSHA (obviously also signifying a state of being free of all sin) by re-joining the SUPREME ATMAN, the GOD-HEAD BRAHMAN, the Primal Creator. Individual karma which serves to project a global sum of spirituality is meant to influence the entire world
