Where Do We Go?

https://poetizer.com/poem/4427590

I​t appears everyone is caught up in making money

S​truggling in life to fulfill their dreams

S​earch for happiness but it’s harder than it seems

F​or even those filthy rich are living in pain

M​akes me wonder our existence, are we living in vain

W​e think that no one has it as bad as we do

B​ut someone is experiencing what we went through

A​nd in the end it is all still the same

S​ome die searching for money and the fame

O​thers die with their desire of happiness

M​et themselves depressed and full of stress

T​hey say life is a bless, death is a tragedy

B​ut we all die trying to survive this precious life

T​he outcome is a must, death is our destiny

W​hen one door closes another one will open

R​each peach for eternity is what we are hoping

W​here do we go from here, is it Heaven or Hell?

D​oes anyone know for sure, can anyone tell?

L​ook at the aged who have lived and witnessed

T​urned old and wise, but they still don’t know

S​till searching for the answers to the question

A​fter we pass away, where will we go?

D​o we go anywhere or remain six feet below?

I​s Hell really worse than this life of sin?

I​s heaven another door, will they let me in?

W​ill we find smiles upstairs when we die?

A​s our loved ones break down and cry

I​s there a place to rest and watch time fly?

C​an we find our dead peers living like kings?

O​r will they burn forever in the flames?

W​ill we be forgiven for our sins?

W​here do we go, what will we find?

D​ay by day, struggle and strive, time after time

A​tempt to do right, caught up in this world of crime

A​re we damned in the afterlife for choices we make

N​o hope for us, if we’re broke then we break

W​hy are we judged by politicians who do the same?

W​e are making moves, playing this painful game

K​nowing that we have to pay for all our mistakes

R​esponsible for the decisions we make

W​hat goes around comes around, we pay our debts here

I​t is bound to happen, so why live in fear?

W​hy not choose to take it as it comes

W​hat happens, good or bad, what’s done is done

D​o believe though that life does go on

G​et back what you have worked for and earned

W​e become wiser with the lessons we learned

O​pen the next door and figure out where to go

K​eep moving in life with the knowledge we hold

W​here do we go, what’s in store behind the next door

S​ome are living rich while others live so poor

H​ave no decent meals and nowhere to stay

N​owhere to sleep , so in the streets they lay

I​ wonder why they must live this way

W​hen others live off someone else’s wealth

A​nd don’t know how to survive by themselves

N​o matter how we live, we must all fight

E​veryday faced with what’s wrong from right

N​o one is free from these endless problems

S​ome get burned trying to solve them

E​verywhere I turn, I feel I’m getting burned

C​an’t find peace, till the day we are deceased

A​nd even then, who knows what we will find?

S​trong visions of paradise is on everyone’s minds

T​he most beautiful place you have ever seen

T​he perfect place, a place in our dreams

E​veryone getting along and living together

T​he rich and the poor both living forever

N​o more pain and misery, no fear or danger

N​o more tears to shed feeling no more anger

I​s it possible when here we can’t get along?

E​veryone is greedy, selfish, hateful and wrong

U​ntil the day comes it will remain a mystery

A​nd slowly time will reveal our destiny

A​nd the final answer to the question

W​here do we go from here
