Afterlives Poems | Examples


Tra

The Art of the spoken word
Is east
Jerusalem 
Ornate 
Probate of the money lenders 
Who tender purity and security 
For a price
Gods children are willing to pay 
Because they are the sheep
On which the idol's seek
Prohibition 
The body and the blood 
Never knowingly 
Roots are tales 
Into the afterlives 
Slave's integrate 
At the table of former master's 
Free at last 
Free at last 
If only my children could see me now
It would all be worth while 
My Child

Egyptian Pharaohs

Your mysticism captivates my world today

Covered in gold and ruins

We try to decode

What you left behind for us so long

Its been five thousand years

And we still feel so lost without you

Let your sun god Ra

Show us the path you took

The pyramids were the keys to your afterlives

Show us how to live our lives

I live in a world covered in blame

With people constantly finding someone else to blame

No boy king in Tut in our day

No Cleopatra ruling any day

Just a lot of villains called politicians

Oh great Egyptian Pharaohs

Show us how you brought prosperity and peace

To your once unstable land

Eternity

it seems unfair to me sometimes
that life has to end.
i hold you in my sight
paused in motion
refusing to forget the patterns of your face
youth only fades
yet noone wants to fathom
what age portrays
watching you now, at age 22,
your ceaseless movements
both delicate and benign,
you are locked in with a click like a mechanism
implanted within my shaking mind.
anchored in my thoughts
afraid i may lose sight,
dreading what is inevitably to come,
our ancient human rite.
what is it we have really
but phases full of longing,
short lifetimes of solitude,
then subsequent terms of bliss
it seems strange to say that i am not sorry 
for little secret moments such as this.
i will not apologize
for having lived and hoping to live long
nor argue choice or afterlives
or hear you claim im wrong.
it seems we believe in nothing more
than dirt and cold and brine
i believe in the simple glory of your hands 
large and gregarious inside my small ones, 
eternity proven,
entwined.

Living Is My Religion

Atheism's beauty is newly welcoming.
Beliefs of God dissipating, fastly waning.
My morals mocked, trashed, disregarded around me.
I remain lost, unseen - For God is a lazy, scientific flee.

Religion has mystified me in its paradox of no evidence. 
So instead I cherish life's priceless joys: keys to brilliance.
Dependent on the now, dependent on myself.
My laughter eliminates agony, and I sustain my health.

Each day that grants good spirits is the one Heaven I am sure of. 
Afterlives are the fool's gamble, but the wise make life enough.
I inherit success, wealth - personal peace, for I am bravely tough. 

Fools need fear to do good, but the wise need no hell or biblical reads.    
I live true Atheism: my actions reward each healthy night of sleep.
Only in my death shall I lose my religion - The belief that my one life is worth living.
