Some people who have been temporarily dead
and revived
claim they saw dead relatives while clinically dead
if what they say they saw is correct
God, spare me from seeing relatives I don’t want to see when dead
that would be close to the hell I don’t believe in
but maybe annoying people become endearing when dead
like old people who supposedly become wiser and nicer
but since I know not all old people become that way
maybe when dead, annoying is still annoying
so, God, please give me a sanitized afterlife minus annoying relatives and people I didn’t like in this life
spare me from what would be like the hell I don’t believe in.
