Tuesday Take 2 at 10

Death is a natural part of life
Even in the afterlife
Sometimes I wonder why the afterlife doesn't leave us alone
But, if left unchecked, to our own devices,
Could we really survive?
Common said "one day it will all make sense."
I can only wonder when
If it will ever set in
No one is alone, or an island
But it sure feels isolated
World seems cold, distant
Yet im drawn to it
Until it is our time to go,
Realize, we are each others keeper
Our own keeper
Upkeeping our community will strengthen us
And may we keep from the stench of defiling ourselves because of greed
Find the need to serve someone
Fulfilling a more divine purpose
Before the afterlife seeks us.
