Terminal Life...

What makes us write things like this...?


Poem Artwork


From birth we are dying,

Of this you know I’m not lying,

If asked how someone close did die,

Don’t ask stupid questions, just say good-bye…

 

Politically correct may be passing on,

Biting the bullet, kicking off, a multitude of others,

But it be terminal life if I had my druthers,

Either way it be a conclusion most subtly foregone…

 

Why did I write this little bit of personal philosophy,

Is the guess of anyone that does partake of its words,

May haps I wrote it to remove from my head some debris,

I don’t know, let me post it, then go and take a much deserved pee,

Then maybe later we will know, then maybe then we will of me see…

Ed, your little spit of philosophy is exactly what I've supported for years. My biggest source of frustration when talking about someone who's died is often offered with "His death was so unexpected" which is caa caa...consdiering we all expect to die, we just don't know when we're going to be hit by the speeding bullet.

Nice little write, now back to my coffee.

Rest in peace,
Dan

I see that the coffin has six handles but wonder how many a ash urn has if the dude was one of those heavy weight?

I lived in the Terminal at O'Hare Airport for about a week once. Does that count? And it was very hard to pee - the restrooms were very crowded.
