No After Life Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

No After Life



Perception of phenomena
Can change the phenomena perceived.
The world is what we make it.
The world perceived by me is mine.
The world perceived by you is yours.
Animals perceive and form their worlds.
Our perception conceive the world
Which cannot exist after our death.
Each life is an eternity
Beyond which lies no space or time.

The world we create ourselves
Cannot outlive us to bear
A witness to our death at all.
Beyond the time and the space
That we create for ourselves,
There can be no space and time
To put a full stop to existence..
There is no after life for life.
To long for eternal after life
Is to search for the watch being worn.
