Your style is heart touching, you paint vivid picture of kife do beautifully.Your this piece of beautiful poetry is absolutely my dream.
Yes! Believing makes the difference! Lovely crafted poem!
Of course, we have no way of knowing what comes after death. Religious belief, however, becomes so convincing to people, they act as if faith is factual and the soul's immortality and the palatial paradise you cited are guaranteed. That's still faith, not proof. You made a list of all of the injustices, suffering, etc. life after death would redress. Why do these things have to happen in the first place? Why not Paradise Now? Enough said!
Hi! I guess I didn't see this comment or I would have responded. You see religious belief as I know it is factual because it is backed and provable by science. As for suffering, you see this world wasn't meant to be the perfect happy paradise, we have to work for that one. This earth is meant for our test and trial to deserve the paradise in the afterlife.
Cont/.. Then also our wrongdoings and sins cause our own sufferings and can cause others to suffer. If we followed the one true God to a tee we wouldn't have suffered many hardships and problems in life. Thanks so much for comment.
You will arrive as a blessed soul. You are so blessed with with feelings in quest. the rest is history. Life is our job and death is our rest....so be it....love FrIends forever....lovers of life.
one word lines that speak many thoughts and give a universal message of hope and the usual life and death tug of war....Eid mubarak and thanx for the comments...
Nicely written. Definitely a hopeful message especially to those who battle with ideas of life after death.
Thanks for throwing us all a life rope. It has already served me well and I used to escape the deep pit I was in! : -) Nyumba yangu nyumba yako! Boy! is my Swahili rusty! : -)
Being a muslim I have got no doubts about the hereafter, but it could be a thought provoking poem for unsure ones. thanks for this useful poem and thanks for your comment on my poem Darwin's Theory(science or fairy-tale)
You are an amazing poet! I love this poem. Thank you so much for commenting on one of mine, it made my day. :)
An enjoyable piece; appreciated the message; nicely conceived. -Joe Breunig, Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory P.S. In terms of critiquing, I'm not crazy about the formatting and lack of punctuation- for me, it was a distraction from a thought-provoking poem.
............dear s. this is one of the best poems I have ever read....you really touched my heart and soul with this write....and if I run across someone who is handicapped or disabled in any way today....I will give them all the assistance I can....thanks for writing this wonderful poem....wish I had written this one....adding to my favourite collection.....
Amen to your prayer Zaynub, from life to the life hereafter, from time to eternity, the journey is an expected one and the abode there will be permanent one, I see there is a positive approach in your deep though simple poem, if we spend time in doing good deeds with good intentions, there's nothing to fear in that long and permanent journey! Congrats Zaynub for writing a strong poem...the style is different and flowing, increasing the curiosity of the reader to see what next! ! ! Good job! ! !
Reincarnation theory/ theory of re-birth as per the hindu scripture is established one. Though one does not know what happens after death, yet the past karmas/action in any yoni/form do play a part in one's next birth out of 84 lakhs yonies/specices. The human form is the ultimate form of the cycle of birth. But if the action of a human is satanic, one has to undergo cycle of re-births again otherwise he/she attains nirvaana.(merging with GOD and no more births) .Why do we suffer or why do we enjoy? It depends on how have we conducted ourselves in the past life. After reading your lovely poem twice, its last two lines prompted me to write my views. Thanks for sharing.
thats exactly what i wonder sometimes, , , though i think there isnt any life after we die, , , a thought provoking write, , ,
P.S. I forgot to ask you to read another of my poems if you have a moment.

Just read this one for the first time, Zaynab. I really like it. It is thoughtful and hopeful. Your staccato style here is well chosen too. These words came to my mind: “If in this life only we have hoped..., we are to be pitied more than anyone.” The resurrection to a better life is not just a hope but a guaranteed promise by one who cannot lie.
Yes wow dear friend you sure grasped and added to it in a brill wise understanding and thought. Yes so true and I admire how you say it that we would be a most pitiable lot if this is the only life we have. And that the resurrection is the guaranteed promise by the one who can not lie, yayy wow hurrah amen to that, way to say! ! ! Warmest thanks! ! ! !
