IF LIFE IS AN ILLUSION

IF LIFE IS AN ILLUSION THEN WHAT IS A DREAM

IS IT MORE OR LESS REAL THAN IT SEEMS

HOW DOES WATER BECOME ICE OR STEAM

 

IF WE'RE MOSTLY WATER DO WE CHANGE FORM

BETWEEN LIFE AND DREAM DO WE TRANSFORM

OR DOES THIS THEORY MISINFORM

 

I HAD A THEORY THAT THIS WAS PURGATORY

AND WE HAD THE OPTION TO CHANGE OUR STORY

BUT NONE OF IT IS MANDATORY

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

THIS BEING PURGATORY WAS SOMETHING I CAME UP WITH AS A KID GOING TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL THEY TALKED ABOUT PURGATORY AND HEAVEN OR HELL...SO I FIGURED THIS MUST BE PURGATORY WITH FREE WILL TO DO GOOD OR BAD AND WHICHEVER YOU CHOSE LED YOU TO THE NEXT PLACE THAT WAS HEAVEN OR HELL...STILL KINDA MAKES SENSE TO ME ALTHOUGH I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER THEORIES SINCE THEN...I REMEMBER READING A BOOK IN MY YOUNGER DAZE CAN'T REMEMBER THE TITLE FOR SURE BUT SOMETHING LIKE  WE WHO ARE THE DEAD LIKE THEORY WAS THIS IS DEATH AND DEATH IS LIFE...GIVES YOU LOTS TO THINK ABOUT THERE...THEN I'VE HEARD IT'S ALL ABOUT FAITH AND BELIEF LIKE YOU CAN HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH OR HELL ON EARTH DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THIS PLACE...LOTS TO THINK ABOUT THERE...
