Do Not Believe Those

Do not believe those who tell you the good only die young
Or old singers are forgotten when their last songs they have sung
Though many an old saying as a truism remain
Not all of them stand the test of scrutiny without needing to explain

Do not believe those who tell you wisdom only belong to the old
Or that a woman cannot be beautiful if she is not attractive to behold
Wisdom and beauty have many sides to them as far as i know
And only the most beautiful have the inner glow

Do not believe those who tell you that there is a god in a heaven in the sky
Though their right to what they believe in of them none ought to deny
There is no proof that they have it right or that they have it wrong
Though to each individual their own truth belong

You can believe those who tell you we are born to die
This is a mere fact of our existence and fact never lie
But no proof of a life for the soul post bodily death
Or if death is forever when we draw our last breath

Some will tell you that from life our fair dues we receive
But then we only believe what we want to believe
And what is true to you may not be so to me
Since we all look at life in our ways differently.
