Eternity Is Too Long

Even if there is an after life. Even if a Heaven or Nirvana waits those living with strife.

Even if there is a reward of eternal bliss. Even if existence is whatever you wish.

Eternity is too long. It would be like listing to the same song. It would be like living in a world with only a dawn. It would be like you would never experience a yawn. It would be like you could never be wrong. Eternity is too long.

Even if you get everything you desire. Even if you are a kingdom's sire.

Even if you have all the riches of the universe. Even if you are the subject of every poetic verse.
