Will I Rest In Peace

Will anyone miss me
I assume some will cry
But I doubt that they'll miss me
After the day that I die

Ominous thoughts creep through my mind
Will it be God that I meet
Or will it be Satan I find

Our world is suffering 
From a plague of greed
A disease like this 
Our world doesn't need

Will it be better without me
Will my children find there way
Their world will still turn without me
Could today just be the day

The whole world will turn without me
Think I'll soon be on my way
Seems their world is already spinning beyond me
And with a lose of words,what else is there to say

I love this a lot. I am into the dark poetry and gripping emotion. I guess you can never be too sure where you go when you die. I have learned something in my life. Everyone is missed by at least one person, even if it’s a stranger you knew for a moment.

Thought rested silence with a prayerful heart positions us in an egoless continuum and then, if we be still as such, the answers to questions posed are answered by the universe
