Purgatory Or Salvation

What is life?

 

Is life Hell?

 

Some of us mortals

 

can never tell.



Life is long,

 

life is tough;

 

but death is easy,

 

when your number's up.

 

 

 

Death can be caused

 

by a car, a rope, or knife.

 

Or a simple gunshot,

 

can take away life.

 

 

 

Even a fall,

 

from a terrifying hight,

 

will leave you in darkness

 

reaching for the light.

 

 

 

When the time comes,

 

The Reaper is there.

 

His job is to free you

 

and take you somewhere

 

 

 

Where that place is,

 

Only he can show you.

 

What that place is,

 

No one can get to.

 

 

 

Unless you are dead,

 

and free from life's grasp.

 

But all you have to do

 

is perform this easy task,

 

 

 

Now in my thoughts,

 

I've had a revelation.

 

Is death purgatory?

 

Or simply salvation?
