The Suicide Bomber
When beginning his afterlife
he thought he would rejoin his wife.
The thousand virgins he had earned
would not be forthcoming he learned.
All his rewards or punishments
became impossible events.
He discovered when he was dead
his expectations were not fed.
But he discovered paradise
was eternal, and that was nice.
All the things his body desired
had died when his body expired.
With a new cosmic consciousness
he finally found happiness.
