Many theories about the afterlife.
Who is wrong, who is right?
Many claim to know the truth
from what they’ve read in books.
Many claim to have the answers
from what their religious leaders
tell them emphatically as though
they’d been to the land of the
dead and back with the truth.
People who have been dead
for a while may have a better
read on the afterlife having died
briefly and come back to life.
But they were not permanently
dead and what they experienced
may not have been the entire
truth, though compelling and I
hope they are right and for the
most part their versions suit me.
