Funeral Nobody Came 2 Because No 1 Knew From Whence He Came

When I eventually died 

And was medically pronounced dead 

What remained of my body after I was dead 

Had to be disposed of eventually 

Cremation and burial being the only real

2 currently viable available options

The only other 1 choice was

The ceremony of ones in particular

Chosen own religious denomination

But because I am not a Christian

There will not be a priest performing
or giving me my last rights and consequently
therefore I will not go to heaven

And because I am not a Muslim

Paradise and 40 odd virgins likewise are
not waiting or in my future either

And because I am also not Jewish either

I am not going and am going to meet
or be welcomed by there God either 

And so too goes for the Devil himself
as well be didn't even bother to
R.S.V.P

And as a non believer I also myself
Therefore also should expect and
believe that is no more or no less I
should deserve nor come to expect

Which in effect actually just reaffirmed
my faith and belief in death and I am
totally okay and alright and onboard with

The fact that when I am dead I am going
absolutely nowhere and neither is anyone
waiting to welcome or greet me there either

You certainly spell it out in this one Christopher, and draw a line in the sand without reservation, now I could tell you to have your brain cryogenically frozen until the technology is available to rebuild a new enhanced version of yourself at some point in the future, sounds like a plan for my main man, see you in the next millennium, cheers David
