Dirt In The Ground
Death- why are we talking about death?
Well, everyone eventually takes their last breath.
But once that day comes, what happens to you?
It's actually quite simple for me, a Jew.
No heaven, no hell, just dirt in the ground,
No fuss, no stir, not even a sound.
Family mourns the loved one within a day,
But there's no repenting, so no reason to pray.
Every religion has their own belief system:
Afterlife, the spirit world, or even divine wisdom.
None of that is necessary; I think it's quite simple-
Death is meaningless; it is not a symbol.
It may be the day that your time has come,
Your heartbeat will stop, no longer a drum.
It can be sad, or scary, or even quite daunting,
So live a full life and leave nothing for wanting.
