I think people are so infatuated with afterlife,
Convinced it must exist
For sure there must be something better than this
This can’t be all there is
As if we sign a contract before entering the womb
Stating life will be painless and smooth
“Enjoy the ride” it quotes
However, taking the f out of life
Changes meanings completely
But even in the fine print nothing could be found
Like a promise it had to be better than this
We said life is an illusion- death and hate too
We swore time would heal
Paraphrasing “every man is created equal”  
Even when we have villains knocking at our doorstep
However, “Happily ever after’s” only exist in fairytales
Therefore, I say, Pull the trigger
Convinced there exists a place not as grey
But for what do I know
Already dead anyway.
