What's Next From Here? Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

What's next from here?
All along I suspected the teachings were wrong
The edge, more or less seemed closer than it actually ought to be
The decorated truths of our journeys now stand questioned
What if you went yonder, surpassed life and got back?
These tales seem never to end, the departure of our souls

We stand bound together by reason yet broken apart by uncertainty
What happens next after you leave this world physically?
Are the doors to life beyond suddenly open with warm reception?
Will the angels of light pave your way to the crowning
Perhaps eternal damnation of the wicked and the celebration of saints
What happens next yet a mystery

When nobody knows or has the revelation yet, we stumble and crave to know
The patience of having our questions answered is wavering by minute
We stand here and pose naïve therefore, opening our minds to leave them blank again
One day perhaps not today the revelation will dawn
The thirst of our knowledge to tread our next path shall be made known to all men
We can thus leave with a little less tension
Hope to enjoy our lives with a little less concern
But upon every man lies a question in his heart, a burden on their back
The cross to carry living life precarious of what could be in our next journey
Only problem is mastery of how to be grateful for the current journey
Under the face of the earth and shinning yellow sun
