(Apropos Of An Ironic Juxtaposed Reality)

Ironically,

It’s cheaper to live than die:

Save, self-cremation:-

Even then, you must pay for

The ashes to be cleaned up:-

And don’t forget, the family

Is charged to pay off all debts

That you may have left behind:-

Ironically,

We are born to live and die;

Life, being cheaper:

Funerals are expensive!
