Despair

Hello, said he.
Smile on his face didn't quite reach his eyes.
He grinned and easily asked, do you believe in afterlife?

There was a hole. A big and dark one, that's it.
Inside, moved silently,
watching his very step a pair of eyes.
They laughed mockingly.
Slowly their hands reached for him.
Pulling him to their place.
Place where despair had erased all dreams.

But never once he cared nor scared.
Fools, he laughed.
For he didn't even believe in afterlife.

But they laughed harder,
as they knew better than him.

Who was the fool one, now?
