My 50 Cents On Life After This Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

What is life

After this?

Sure I won’t buy on the idea

that I can live in the body of a worm

or a body of a frog

or a body of an elephant



I won’t also buy on the idea

that I’ll be turn to vapor

or be like the clouds

that can turn to rain

and water the plains

and back in the sky again



I’m not a theologian

so better not ask me

if what is heaven, hell or purgatory

Hades or Scheol

Olympus, the Elysian Fields or the netherworld,

Paradise, Limbo or New Eden

as I still haven’t been there!

My knowledge about them

I heard and read in poems, stories and tales



I will not also buy on the idea

that I’ll be living on the earth again

Gosh, one life here is enough I guess

than be back here and repeat the cycle

of being a baby

going back to school

Earning money

and preparing for retirement.

that is unless the earth

really badly overly needs the same person again.

LOL



Heaven!

Wow, it’s the best,

eternal peace, love and happiness

every moment is a bliss



But the purging thing is what I’m intending

as I know I’m not as holy as the saints and prophets

or as pure and clean as the cherub and angels

so I need somewhat a cleansing process



and hell for me is somewhat so tormenting

and it’s been an excruciating feeling.

so better avoid the evils that can get there.



so I don’t know where really it is.

It’s a mystery

and uncovering the mystery may not be task

given to me

and I’ll just follow what the good one says.

to be good to others and

to live life in a good way.
