Does The Soul Live On When The Body Does Die Poem by Francis Duggan

Does the soul live on when the body does die
If i told you i knew i would be telling a lie
Though many believe post bodily death the souls of the good have wings for to fly
To the kingdom of their god way beyond the sky
But since to a god in the sky i am not one who believe in to pray
In their thinking if they are wrong or right it is not for me to say
Though with the freedom of belief i am one who agree
And each to their own is how it is with me
Such horrible crimes by religious fundamentalists every day we hear of and read
And you need not be a religious person a good life for to lead
Non religious people who nurture their god of the mind
Known to live good lives and are compassionate and kind
Only know like all others i am destined for to die
This is a fact of life and fact never lie.
