What Is Life About Ask One Far More Knowledgeable Poem by Francis Duggan

What is life about ask one far more knowledgeable than me
For i only see darkness where hope used to be
I used to believe in the Kingdom in the sky
Where post bodily death the good souls with wings to do fly
Now i can only claim to be sure that people are born to die
Since this is a fact and fact never lie
On a life after bodily death i used to believe
Of eternal happiness of the soul as a reward for a well lived life one does receive
And though now i see it in a different way
Of a life for the soul post bodily death who am i to say
The longest lived life in time not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
And since to an unseen God i no longer do pray
What is life about i ask myself every day.
