The longest lived human life is not long in time
People in their forties are well past their physical prime
Those who live for a century of years in the few
And this is not saying anything that is new
Whatever happens to the soul when the body does die
If i said that i knew it would be telling a lie
I leave this to those with a theology degree
Who claim to know far more about this than me
Any deceased person i have known or known of have not come back to me to tell
Of an afterlife for the soul or of a heaven or a hell
Of what does seem an unknown of some do claim to know
But of a life for the human soul after bodily death the mystery only does grow
I only wish to live for as long as i can
And die without pain as a very old man.

I would like to translate this poem
Insightful. Everyone has believe in some form and others do not. I have my own but would not discuss it here. Is there a soul and afterlife or is it just wishing or wanting a continuation to this life? No answers unfortunately.
