The Unmade Bed pt. 2

The unmade bed.

When you die you don’t go to heaven nor hell.

You go to sleep.

And once the lord calls your name,

Heaven and hell are within shouting distance.

This isn’t about death,

But about life!

Exposing the privilege we take here on earth

Because it WILL affect the there.

The dead know nothing.

You are dead to the world when you go to bed

Are you not?

Awaiting the truth about death,

But it won’t bring back love ones that have left.

I’m sleeping now,

While awaiting to be woken up from the dust.

Your soul isn’t immortal and never will be after death,

But the body will be resurrected

And your spirit will follow.

Though we will die,

We will live!

well sin i`m not sure about that,the bible says to be absent
from the body is to be present with the lord,the bible says
that jesus was three days in the tomb before he was resurrected
and man will be three and a half days in the tomb..the bible says you will know nothing,you will sleep
this is talking about the body,not the spirit.the body will sleep and be resurrected at the coming
of god when he rules the earth for one thousand years

This actually coincides extremely closely to what I believe in. Your positive views on the matter of death, or rather, life. It's refreshing. There are a few small grammatical errors, but your choice conveyance is working for you. Continue writing, my friend.

I agree my friend.
"But the body will be resurrected
And your spirit will follow.
Though we will die,
We will live!"
The lines above are true. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
