What Happens

by Antler

Asking people What happens to them after they die Is like asking babies in the womb What happens to them after they’re born — How can they answer When they don’t even know how to speak yet, When they don’t even know Their mother tongue so they can understand the question to begin with Or anything About the outside world? Ask a sperm cell What happens to it after it fertilizes an ovum. Ask the umbilical cord What happens to it after it becomes a bellybutton. Ask a baby in the womb What religion it is or if its mother believes in immortality. Ask an unborn baby in its mother Who is making love with its father what’s happening. Ask an unborn baby Entering the birth canal just about to be born if there’s life after birth.
