Afterlife



I could be wrong



but I think



many of us,



deep inside,



think that when we die



we will go



before a judge



who will give us



a thumbs up



or a thumbs down,



either happiness forever



or misery forever,



and to me



this is a foolish notion,



but I don't remember



my past deaths



and I can't see the future



but it doesn't take



a Zen scientist



to figure out



that this foolish notion



is not true.
