When The Lights Go Out
When the lights go out
The show’s over;
A brief yet vivid
Supernova.
No amount of faith
Will alter the fact
That we’re never, ever
Coming back.
Once is all there is.
Nothing more,
Nothing less.
All we can do
Is to
Give it our best.
Opher – 25.6.2022
How much better life is when you are not living in fear or hope of the next life. Each moment is precious.
You only get opportunities once.
Suck it in. Lap it up.
We live in the midst of wonder.
This invention of an afterlife was deployed to exploit soldiers. It was instilled to remove the fear of death so that they would be fearless on the battlefield.
This invention of heaven and hell was a control mechanism. Nothing more.
Live for today.
This moment is all we have.
