Questions

Does everything end when we die?
Does my heart stop beating and stop feeling?
Do I just disappear,
Having become useless to someone greater?
Am I like foodstuff – with an expiry date stamped somewhere on me?

Will I just end? Just dissolving into nothing?
Or do I go somewhere else?
“I’m just moving. Don’t worry,”
Is there really a Heaven and a Hell?
I hope I’ve been good
Is there another plane of existence, where I go when I die?
Or is it just an expanse of nothingness?

Is there a judge and a jury who decide my fate when I die?
Will I stand before a sombre man,
Who hits the bench with his hammer,
Calling “Order! Order!”?

So many questions about the ending
But what about the beginning?

I know how babies are born
How they grow inside the mother’s warm womb
But where did they come from?
Their soul? Their personality?
But still the question is:
What happens when it ends?

Is this life just one chapter in a book?
Then turn to the next chapter, my friend
Tell me what happens
I’m desperate to know!

What happens when we die?
