What of Our Human Existence
Life's greatest question:in what capacity will our soul exist after our physical death?
The question has plagued mankind since Eve's fateful first bite.
But, with knowledge and the perception of existence, comes great burden.
In life, only the certainty of death is guaranteed to all of mankind.
So we create fictitious beliefs and myths ruled by all might Gods.
Complete with a much more appealing version of afterlife, than science gives
Creations devised to fulfill our basic need to explain away our fears.
Mankind's two greatest fears being: the unknown and our mortality.
If humans are so intelligent, why do billions believe fables written by men.
We pride ourselves on the advanced level of scientific and technological achievements.
But, we put faith in a mythical God, with no burden of scientific proof.
We live our lives in anticipation of a continued existence beyond our current one.
Gathering in large congregations, repeating cryptic and antiquated verses
Living life, following a code of ethics and laws, to be good little sheep.
Deep inside our being, knowing all along the falsehoods of our beliefs.
While we adhere to the rules of our chosen God and Religion
And, the numerous and over bearing laws and codes of government
When do we get to enjoy our current state-of-being of our life.
denying our mind's desires to avoid breaking imaginary laws of Gods
Wasting the true gift of human kind, the ability to experience and choose ones path
Ignoring the thoughts created naturally within our minds construct
For fear that indulging in the enjoyment of our mortal human life
Is somehow wrong, or will be enough sacrifice to buy our way to eternal life
The time to find happiness and enjoyment is passing with every tick and tock
Indulge your mind's desires and experience all life has to offer
Before our only chance is lost forever, in a state of complete emptiness.
Question answered: Will your soul be conscious after you leave the earth?
