Or Not

by andhereIstand   Dec 5, 2008


After death-
A world could await

Or not.

There could be angels,
Clouds of gold and
Shining halos

Or not.

Everything they feed you
At the god-awful mass�
Church likes to call
Refreshing
Could be true
Or not.
Spirits could
Roam about the earth
Or not.
They could be
Sitting beside you now
Playing with your hair
or not.
The eldest of our families
Those past before us
Could be influencing
Every movement
Every decision
You make
Or not.
Is ,life really so supernatural?
Is this religion?
Is this legend?
Or not.
Or is it so
That once life has
Run it�s course
Once you�ve
Breathed your last breath
Uttered your last word
Whispered your last forgiving�
Is that all?
Is there nothing to be left?
Young children praying each night
That lovely grandma will
Go to heaven
And nobody is listening?
mothers who pray
For their children�s ailments to
Subside�
And nobody is listening?
The said to be God
And his army of angels
Are they existent?
Are our past on
Ancestors
Really watching over us?
And are we to one day
Watch over generations to come?
Or perhaps�
Once you have taken your
Last step,
Written your last word,
Is that all?
Your ideas stay behind
Your memory is behind
But you�
Become nothing.
Blackness,
But not even
Because you are not there
And nothing is with you
And therefore
There is nothing
To be seen as black.

There could be angels.
There could be halos, wings and gold.
Their could be silver clouds.
Their could be spirits.
Thee could be ancestors watching over you,
There could be unseen souls influencing ever
Movement, every decision you make.
There could be a world beyond,
Golden as sun
Beautiful as�
As heaven.

Or not.

    "Is ,life really so supernatural?"
    - No need for the comma.

    When you copy and paste stuff into Poems and Quotes it puts in all those weird things, so it's better to type. I know this is long so you can just go through and take them out. But they really take away

    The poem is well written, and though I don't believe the 'ornot' part, I believe it's all true - it's definitely relatable. Everyone who's ever though of God or any higher power has wondered this. Even people who haven't thought of God but of ancestors and all that, have thought of the 'or not' factor. You wrote it really well. I enjoyed the read (:

    Your style of writing is unique, I guess thats the only good thing I see in it. But there's no flow in your poems, so theres not much I can really say. The flow needs to be tweaked and improved, you have some issues with your words they didnt show up correctly which isnt your fault but the reader cannot read what it's supposed to say, I think that again.. the main thing you can do is make your lines the same length.. otherwise I dont see how youre going to make it flow. Hm. This wasnt my favorite, sorry. Dont mean to sound harsh or bash your poem at all.. but I think it needs improvement.. Your thinking is very unique and original though, thank you for sharing your thoughts..
