An Agents Dirge

Today here
Absolutely no fear
Gone tomorrow
We must now borrow

Expenses unforeseen
Ceremonies and meetings in between
Funeral Directors need money like candy
That life insurance not taken, would have come in handy

We troop in to contribute 
Tea and bread to distribute 
Last respects to pay 
Hidden costs to defray

Life is terminal 
The cost of death phenomenal 
Spiritual gifts become active 
Our faith in insurance, that reactive

They love to say
We leave areas grey
Total disclosure and utmost good faith
Read your policy we sayeth

Ignorance is intolerable
Without insurance life after, is unbearable
Have a vision, have a dream
Best served with life insurance, it would seem
