Whatever Happens To The Soul

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.
