Not For Me

To the god of the universe you may well pray But from you this will not keep the life's reaper away Your last remains may be destined for a hole in the ground But you believe that for your god's kingdom post bodily death your soul will be bound Of a life for the soul after bodily death is not for me to say For this call me agnostic or atheist or call me what you may So many believe good souls have wings to fly To god's universal kingdom somewhere in the sky Human beings live on an average of a seven decade span A few years more for a woman than it is for a man But to live as a good person you do not need a religious belief It does not mean if you are an agnostic or an atheist that you are a thief Of the flames of the urn or the dark depths of the grave From the reaper of lives your god you will not save Every life form and this includes humans from the great to the small To the scythe of the dark one of death eventually must fall.
