What If
What if we all accept this is it, all of it, no more, no less.
This is what you get. For better or worse.
No heavenly paradise full of virgins waiting to be taken.
No hellfire no purgatory
Do you suppose there’d be any difference in living?
Would suicide bombers recognize waste?
Could love survive?
Nature would continue as usual
I would love my wife and family no less
My lot in life has improved No I am not content
Neither do I take or need charity
Independence and freedom are responsibilities
I own as an American Citizen
Life is meaningless without them
First came rebellious independence
Tempered with responsibility
Freedom came last as I embraced solitude
And after all that effort
A hawk looked at me and flew away
Superior in his wild survival
It's all too good to be true
