Is there really an afterlife?  I often wonder this 
when I hear of so many dying – for no apparent 
reason; murders and killings.  This weekend I 
was given the statistics of how many people 
have died in the war versus how many young 
black men (and or people) died as a result to 
gun violence.  The black people who died as a 
result to gun violence out figured the number of 
soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.  That’s horrific!  I 
wonder is there an afterlife or will most of these 
poor souls ever be reincarnated?
We’re told through by our religions leaders that there is a 
heaven and a hell.  Most times I don’t believe. 
I’m often told that once you die your soul/spirit moves on and
lives again.  I definitely hope not 
because I don’t want a repeat this life.  I don’t 
want to live again in any life form because I’ve lived 
in this universe and I don’t want to return to a world of 
hatred and confusion ever again; once it’s over 
for me, I want it to be official.
I can’t imagine coming back again as someone 
or something else to actually experience 
another lifetime in this world; I loathe this world and 
what it has become. We lost the humanistic qualities that was given to us through by our creator.  We've become greedy and selfish - kicking the next man, woman or child when they are down.  Instead of the world changing for the better we seem to be headed for the worst.  We’re 
more concerned with saving the environment 
instead of saving mankind.  The earth will 
replenish itself, but the human race will subside.
When I hear the statistics of deaths and murders, 
I only pray that their souls are at rest because I’m 
not so certain of the afterlife or if it truly exists.  
My reasons for saying such is because if people 
really believed in the afterlife, they wouldn’t be 
so busy being hateful and trifling. If there is an afterlife people wouldn't spend so much time worrying about money or kicking the next person while they are down.  If there was an afterlife people wouldn't spend the majority of their lives worrying about money, fame or recognition. For what ever you possess you can't take it with you.
