Many People

Many people believe in a life hereafter yet not one as of yet came back to tell
Whether there be a heaven for Earth's good departed or whether the sinners are suffering in hell
Or whether there is such a place as limbo or for us is earthly death end of life's line
How would I know since I'd only be guessing and one can say your guess is as good as mine.

And others believe in reincarnation that as a bird or beast to life we will return
Or in the body of another person that the soul has many more lessons to learn
And others do not have a god to pray to and I can say that I am one of those
And everybody in their thinking different but then again that's people I suppose.

Many people have a religion of some sort and each to their own some have been known to say
And for their gods they wage war on each other and behave in quite an ungod like way,
Thou shalt not kill is Moses fifth commandment that commandment it is broken every day
By those who say god is great and almighty they insult the very one to whom they pray.

Many people believe in a life hereafter though not one ever has come back to say
That there is life beyond this earthly planet though one thing for sure is we all must die one day
But 'tis sad to think that war that cause death and suffering is far too often waged for god and land
By people who see themselves as god fearing that I find very hard to understand.
