I wish that everyone could be comfortable with death (our everyday companion)

Beyond

Human existence a fragile thing

Death begins at birth

We learn to crawl before we walk

We learn to stand before we lay down

Religions speak of ever after

Courageous words spoken by men not yet dead

Every priest knows the path

Every blind man sees the way

Adoration the purchased salvation

Truth woven into fine linen

The burial sheet covers all lies

Death so heartbreaking

Yet all gods rejoice

Each god lives in a manmade heaven

Every human cowers in their shelter

Perceptions unknown become myth

The true doorway opens without key

Grand hallways absent of priestly presence

Punishment an ignorant scam

The journey continues, a new road taken

New travellers to meet beyond
