Humans need a Hereafter

Life would 
be 
worthless 
and short
If this is 
the only 
dear life 
we have
Great 
plans just 
death can 
abort
to be 
useless 
once you 
met 
your grave.
And for 
those who 
die young, 
in 
childhood's 
tender ages
How short 
and 
incomplete 
life 
would be
How 
unfair and 
unlucky if 
death's 
the end 
for them
Besides 
life to the 
fullest is 
eternity.
What 
about 
those who 
born 
and die 
poor
or those 
born deaf, 
blind or 
lame
What if 
they were 
so 
doomed 
without 
any cure
How 
unlucky if 
resurrection 
never 
came!
But a 
belief that 
there's a 
life 
after this
could be 
of great 
consolation 
and solace
especially 
to the 
poor 
handicapped, 
the 
shortlived
that they 
could 
make it up 
under 
heaven's 
grace!
For the 
good one 
who is 
born 
blind,
In heaven 
shall he in 
brighter 
vision see
And the 
goodly 
one yet 
who 
has lost 
his mind
will in the 
afterlife 
be as sane 
as could be
The deaf 
man with 
his balance 
of pious 
acts
Only the 
hereafter 
would 
compensate 
what he 
lacks
And that 
godly one 
born poor 
and who 
dies poor
could be 
of the 
richest at 
heaven's 
door
In this life 
those 
who've 
been 
saintly yet 
unable to 
talk
could 
cheer up 
to believe 
what 
heaven 
has in 
stock
For this 
world can 
be misery, 
Heaven's 
the place 
to rock
In this 
world at 
times 
you've 
to let the 
hawk 
gawk
Knowing 
your 
tormentor 
in 
heaven 
shall ye 
mock
Thus for a 
true 
happy 
ever 
after
for an 
abode of mirth and 
laughter
Work 
towards 
thy 
hereafter
A divine 
place 
devoid of 
disaster!
O' God therefore after my death and demise
Do place me in a peaceful palatial paradise.
