On What Life Is About Poem by Francis Duggan

What is life about ask one wiser than i
I only do know we will live till we die
And what comes post bodily death i would not have a clue
If i told you i knew to self i would not be true
Though they do not have any proof of it to show
Of a life for the soul after bodily death some claim for to know
Quite sincere in their thinking they never wish to deceive
But we only believe what we wish to believe
For success in life with others we compete
To be best in the neighborhood and best on the street
Our daydreams are never of failure only of renown
Though not everyone becomes the toast of the town
On what life is about great thinkers disagree
It is a question that always seems puzzling to me.
