What if
The idea of a blissful heaven
Beyond this life on earth
Was simply just an imagined place
Created in the mind of man
That allowed him to better cope
With suffering
Perhaps heaven
Doesn't exist at all in reality
Outside of the mind
What if
The notion of an afterlife
Is just a pacifier we give to ourselves
To soothe and comfort us
From the thought that this life
With all of its pain and disease
And discomfort
Is all there is
That there must be some recompense
Somewhere elsewhere
Beyond here
For not being allowed to stay
Or to take all of our loved ones
And worldly possessions with us
When we're forced to pass on
Maybe the existence of heaven
Is just what we've convinced ourselves of
So we don't have to face a reality
That the brevity of this short life
Is all we get
And there's nothing else after
That those gone before us
Are not gone completely
That we will see them each and all again
In an abundant life hereafter
Somewhere out there
What if the haunting finality of a last breath
Is just too much for man to accept
And thus he appeases himself in the belief
That there is more to see
In a life
After death.
