WHERE DO THE DEAD GO?

The world is indeed a fearful place
Full of wandering, non living souls 
Seeking chances to squander and erase—  
Sometimes I wonder where the dead go.

You see them laugh through their pain
Burdened by the weight of their plight
Yet they still cling to vain pursuits—  
Sometimes I wonder where the dead go.

Do they seek refuge from worldly dangers
Or journey to another world for peace?  
Do they truly pass on 
to another realm for more fun?

I don’t believe that people die;  
I think they escape the trials  
Of this lonely, daunting world
To find solace in another life.
