Afterlife

There’s nothing called an afterlife.

Soon after we die.

You are free to go.

You turn into dust.

Hellfire is a myth,

Heaven and hell don’t exist.

You will not be punished

for the ugly things you did.

You will not be rewarded either,

for the good things you did.

You get paid in this world 

for what you do.

Life is eternal after death.

Your soul continues to live.

God is somebody who does exist.

He genuinely created the Universe,

that’s not a myth.

But the scriptures are all rubbish.

They are old and medieval.

You live your free life,

You don’t need God’s approval.

The messengers are all liars,

Lied tons of lies.

Religions are made by God,

That’s a total lie.

Why would he choose conflict

creating different paths?

He had no intention to divide

all of us.

Children cannot help when they are not rich.

The state should come in for their rescue.

The state is the only hope.

Private organizations can help them too.

Ancient wisdom

Ancient wisdom is beautiful.

It is like a flower on a book.

It is useful and effective.

Didn't lose its meaning, didn't miss

it's perspective.

It is still relevant in modern times.

From whisper to whisper,

it is now a deafening roar, 

it still shines.

It is spellbinding for adults and children alike.

It shows the way, it shows the daylight.

It releases fragrance like a flower,

in wisdom, you take your shower.

Broken thoughts

Maybe it is a blank stare,

he is looking at nowhere.

Maybe he is looking back at his whole life.

Back to those days when his wife was still alive.

Now his
