I don’t know if it’s true
But I’d like to tell you
That Life is one long test
For Heaven, do well
If you don’t, go to Hell
We just keep trying our best
Some of us get to cheat
This test is still hard to beat
We don’t know just what is right
By our elders we’re told
Lessons and sermons are sold
But nothing can prepare us quite
There’s no escaping from it
Even if you wanna quit
Every moment you’re losing breath
I’ll leave it up to you
Do what you can do
Time is over now. Welcome Death
Your poems are always so thought provoking, your brain would be a good one to pick. 😉

One moment you are a fresh product from a womb a bit later folds of years old living on promises of better deeds the coming days when one doesn’t even know if another inhale and exhale chance is still available one second away … (went too far but really Thank you for this lovely provoking poem 🙈🙈🙈💝)
