When I fall into the slumber
Of death,
Let my soul lumber
Into the gates of eternity,
Far above the terrains of the earth
Let life’s memories
Replay itself like a motion picture…
Let my unfulfilled dreams
And unrealized potentials
Relive themselves in another world,
In a reality surreal
To the existence I once led…
Oh! When I fall
Into this deep slumber,
Allow the termites to plunder
The remains of my carcass asunder
For I will rise again,
In a realm beyond the
Burdens of these bodily pains…
Life after death is real,
I will surely be born again into a new being
