False Messages

What does the world try to tell you?

Your being is going to die.

Are all of these messages true?

No, and maybe i can tell you why.

Your body is only a part

of what you consider as you.

Because your spirit seems like heart

but survives as all spirits do.

Eternity is not a lie

so our spirits can never die.

If the tangible body must

be recycled–as dust to dust,

intangible beings live on

when temporal bodies are gone.
