Memento Inktober 24: Post Mortem

After death...

we don't know what happens
there are lots of ideas and theories
but those who truly know
can't tell
those of us still here
before death
in life
left wondering
sometimes afraid
sometimes intrigued
sometimes planning
for what's believed
giving up now for later
hedging bets
that later exists and will be better
others don't worry so much
and aim to be present
here and now
because we don't know
when now will end
or if anything comes next
now is all we know we have
past is gone
future is imagination
post mortem
may be nothing more
than two latin words
