Judgement

This is what I believe. Im not saying anyone's beliefes are wrong or right. Im just excpressing what I think.

Is there something else?

            something beyond this world
            of life?
Is there a heaven?
            a special nirvana 
            where all the good ones go?
A God?
Angels?
Heaven or Hell?

How do we truly know what’s
really out there,
Unless we experience it ourselves?

A God?
             maybe;
             possibly.
But I’m not willing to kill
the person next me simply because
they say there isn’t or there is.

I wont scream and shout,

start a war.

‘Cause how do I know if
 there theory is wrong,
              and I am right?
              what if it’s the other way around?
I haven’t died,
I haven’t seen for myself,
So I can’t possibly know
               the real answer.
And neither can you.

Angels?
                I like to think,
                to believe,
that there is someone out there
watching out for me.
                 I like to think
that I have a guardian,
                who loves me for me
                and lives to protect me.

But how do I know there really is
someone
                watching over my shoulder?
I don’t.
                Yet still, the thought brings peace
                to my heart;
                So I will believe in angels,
Because they make me happy.

Heaven and Hell?
                People are judged
                on what they do,

   then are sentenced to either

heaven or

hell.

Why is that?
I think, in the end,
everyone ends up

                in the same place.

If there even is a place to go to.
                How do we know
                we go anywhere at all?
What if, when you die,
You just         stop?

The thought of death doesn’t bother me.
If there is a new world,
                beyond the one we live in now,
Then I will be perfectly content.
                I’ll spend my days in death
                exploring the new expanses.
                                  good or bad.

But if there isn’t anything at all...
I have a feeling I wont care.

I love this because as I read it I envisioned a scene from city of angels ..where souls and people stood next to one another at the beach. I believe if we are all made up of energy then aren't we all connected to each other here now..and from before? We exist in every word, touch, thought and color...timeless and always surrounded by the love of so many.. (at least that's what I like to think) lol.. great write..xo

This summarizes many, many common thoughts, misconceptions, and false ideas....faith is first of all needed. Thank for writing this. You touch on many important ideas....

a cute play on words at the end.... I guess beliefs are as we need them to be...and when we need them to be.

Excellent write.

i love this!! the arrangement of lines is interesting, and it adds so much more to this...i also like this a lot because it seems like you're just pondering the way things are and what's real or not real. there's so many different beliefs that people have and this piece is probably the most similar to my own. my favorite part....

[Luke Ritta]

great questions you have raised hear...some of the most important question asked by humans.....keep this kind of writing going...really nice poem.

This is a real good piece! I think that there is a point in our lives that we might ask these rather impossible questions, we will never know. If we love one another, and watch out for one another, make friends and happiness we will enrich our lives like a living heaven we all can know and can live. Keep up these good thoughts! :)

i liked the way you expressed your own views without judging or accusing anyone else of being right or wrong. the way you presented this peice added to the gentle flow. i think you handled this controversial topic really well, great job! :)
