Letting Go of Heaven

By Faithfool ~

What if there's no pill or prayer to save us?
No great reward for our earthly 'toil'
Is it too uncomfortable to consider
Our last work might be fertilizing soil?

We're lucky beyond belief
To have won this genetic lottery
The fact we're even alive at all
Is nothing short of a miracle

So if prayer and pills won't save us
How will we ever survive?
Life is more than pleasure and pain
In this moment we are truly alive
