when an atheist dies
that’s all folks
one day alive
the next day croaks

when a priest dies
they think it’s a bridge
to harps n’wings
from a mortuary fridge

so (to summarise):

on the one hand, NOTHING
on the other, SOMETHING
(NOTHING being a lack of TO and FRO
hard to imagine but there you go)

but here’s the thing about NOTHING or HEAVEN:
maybe they’re the same thing, Kevin

if it’s heaven – great – you get to float
play with God and generally gloat

it it’s nothing – you don’t know a thing about it
and you don’t get a chance to crow about it

in other words

you die – wow – a heavenly show
or you die – there’s nothing – but you don’t know
so you wouldn’t know there WASN’T a heaven
– is any of this making sense to you, Kevin?

does that mean you should hedge your bets
cross yourself and genuflect?
when you see a church door, should you go through it?
nope – sorry, mate – still can’t do it
