Life's Little Lamentation

I know why the blind girl across the street can cry so much I know it when I do not cry I know when your world is completely dark you don't cry as much I know why the blind girl across the street can fret so much I know it when my heart becomes numb I know when your world seems completely fine that's when you cry that much I know why the blind girl across the street can cry so much I know it when I do not cry I know when your world is completely dark you don't cry as much I know why the blind girl cries alas She lost the thing she needed to last I know when your world seems lack of one most needed thing; You don't cry as much as the blind girl who cries

-If that's the road to freedom, why not choose it and end all tyrannies? -If that's the path to immortality, why not take it and end all mortalities? -If that's the way to impossibility, why not for the sake of all possibilities? -If that's the road to eternity, why not for you and me?

I have to comment on it. Not so much of comments actually. More of an introduction of a book, the second book in my life so far that has managed to bring tears to my eyes. the five people you meet in heaven I am sure many of us think about heaven. Life after death. More Heavens. And paradise. I am sure none of us have the guts to really say they understand what heaven is, and how it looks like. Nobody's sure. Nobody even knows the answer.
