Beyond Now Poem by DANIEL ESSIEN

BEYOND NOW

Do I see only now and here?
I mean only my nose and the it breath.
Do I see only the sight my eyes look?
I mean only where distance stop.
Do I only know now and here?
I mean the environment I live.
Do i believe only in now and present?
Because I can't see tomorrow.
Do I only care for life now
And forget life hereafter.

Is my life now more important than the one to come?
Should i not care more for eternity?
Seeing beyond now and present...
into a time where I need no breath to live
No sun or moon to see
Need no ear to hear
Nor mouth to eat.
Where I need no flesh to move.
Think before you sink...
Beyond the earth, where will you be?
Beyond now what do you see?
Eternity is closer than ever...
