For As Long As I Can

The longest human life in time not a long span
So try to live on for as long as you can
For despite all this talk about Heaven and Hell
Of an Afterlife none have come back to tell
The millions of homeless the poor and downtrod
Are surely the children of the lesser God
Though many believe in the existence of this God in the sky
This is something I question but offhand cannot deny
I must be an agnostic I think in that way
And to the God of the Universe I never do pray
One reason I am in no hurry to die
But what is truthful to me to you may be a lie
My best days in life to the forever gone
But for as long as I can live I hope to live on.
