Then What

I was born and raised the way I didn’t choose

I was taught to work hard as a source of luxury

I was taught to pray as the genesis of eternity

And I was taught to love as an essence of life

But then what?

What’ll next?

After all that

I’ll work hard

Have myself a gilded life

As well as a felicitous family

But then what?

I’ll love as I was taught

But I’ll die, as a common destiny

Leave my beloved ones in sorrow

Wailing and mourning after me

But why should I have to love them?

When we won’t last forever together

I’ll die

And proceed to heaven

Or I’ll go to hell

All due to my deeds

But then what?

After all that

After loving and praying

After reading all Testaments

And after the last judgment

What’ll next?

What the use of living anyways?

Is it to love?

When you’ll certainly go away

Or is it to work hard

When you’ll leave all your possession

Is it to pray hard?

When you might probably lose the heaven

Or it is to enjoy life

Every means possible carefree

Why should I be proud of my existence?

Or what’ll happen after life and death?

Where will we be after hell and heaven?

After eternal happiness in Promised Land

Or after deathless burning fire in perdition

What’ll be next?
