A Journey to the Edge of Time
Birthdays come and birthdays go
But nothing is as punctual as a date that nobody cares about
Except for the person at issue.
For some inter-stellar perhaps inter-galactic reason
we never forget that
our interest has little to do with our DOB--
Beyond a point it reminds us that we are closing the gap on our DOD.
Aye, there’s the rub.
Is there a cosmic veil?
Do we slide in under it?
Do the lights come back on?
Are there spirits waiting for us?
Do we celebrate?
So many questions
So few answers.
You would think that we had nothing else to do.
Well, figuratively speaking.
Let’s face it:
Nobody explained the rules of the game.
If rules there be.
So we make our own.
Why worry now?
What’s the worst that could happen?
Oops. Cancel that.
When all is said and done
And we have had our fun.
It’s human to think of an accounting
And if our books are in order...or not?
We ask.
Is there a limit on forgivenesses?
Conscience does make cowards of us all.

Throughout history, there have always been power brokers who have been looking or ways to quel the misery and anxiety of the masses. It is best done by establishing a religion that indoctrinate people into the idea that if they are religious enough, faithful enough or loyal enough they will be rewarded Beyond the life they're living.
Almost everyone in the world has taken that bait and hopes that they will become some creature of high value or sit alongside Thor or one of the many gods of history that well power of religion over people.
