A living death then life

Perhaps :)

What then once futile life is done
is there a place to head,
or is this it, no more, no less
an eternity as dead.
No, surely once we're done were not
that's when the fun begins,
when all we hoped but never gained
is got whilst fatty sings.

thought provoking little piece this early morning. Surely we go on, I truly believe. once in a while I do wonder what if this is it and if I truly believed that, would I have lived this life differently...the answer is always the same...only if I didn't have a conscience... so I have faith there is more. when you can create conversation with a piece of poetry you know you did well, you did well my friend.

[Gee]

Thanks Patricia, appreciate every one of your visits :)

[Patricia]

My pleasure;)

No, surely once we're done were not ... did you mean were as written or we're..
Really enjoyed this short poem of yours...
There are so many lines I love...
Had to go back into your older poems to find one I had not read..as I have read so many..
Lisa, now early morning and cold in Spain

Thank you Lisa

One poet once said that we have to incorporate death into life and life into death; this piece just reminded me of her quote otherwise...
interesting pseudo philosophical.

[Gee]

Thank you Ada

If we do retain some consciousness into an afterlife the fat lady will continue her seranade taking donations as admissions to the fun house within. But a life well written can't possibly be futile can it?

[Gee]

It would be nice to exit stage right with no regrets and those left behind comfortable in the life they are keading.
Thank you

So, it's not over til the fat lady sings.... and that means the end of us too. Our life may go on in memory of those thinking you were a fun person... or maybe you believe in an afterlife where the fun is just beginning...either way its an interesting way of looking at death.
Nice write'
Best, Betty

[Gee]

[Betty Hermelee]

The way we humans ponder what comes "after" is a signpost for how we overthink everything. Dead is just dead. But we want to immortalize ourselves & others so badly. That's why I love your flippant treatment of this widespread ponder (((HUGS)))

[Gee]

Thanknyou..

[Gee]

Thank you..

Yes, is there a place to head and not an eternity as dead? After my husband passed away six years ago, I was comforted by a song he wrote. Here's a short part of it:
On the other side
On the other side
I've a home in glory
On the other side

On the other side
On the other side
There'll be no pain or sorrow
On the other side

[Gee]

How lovely :)
I wonder if my words will be read once I've popped my clogs.
Thank you

[Shelley Warner]

You're welcome, and yes your words will be read.

Is that a shopping list ?

[Davidgeo]

This is dark but then it gets...
I hope you're right.

When the fun begins, I hope I see you there.

[Gee]

Hopefully not in the near future Dave :)
Hope you are keeping well.
Cheers

[Carola]

i love it!
i'm with "that's when the fun begins".
when it's my turn I'm sure going to try & come back as something or other... a bird, cat or an insect, whatever & play little pranks on people by moving objects around. hahaha! I'll enjoy that.

[Gee]

Hi Carola, thank you
