Is the othe side
really what we've been told?
Sky made of diamonds,
streets paved of gold.
Do we really get peace
and away from all our trauma?
Is the air full of love?
Are we free from drama?
"Being laid to rest"
is a weird thing to say
when we know not the goings on
of their existences during our night and day.
Are we free from worry?
Can we hear our loved ones?
Or are we in oblivion,
without any suns?
I ask to be heard
and listened to from above.
Can we show we still care?
Can we still send our love?
