Rest In Peace

"Rest in peace"
They delivered there morse
In lose shoulders 
in dropping face
In gloomy eyes.

So his body rested
Under the warm earth
To be broken into pieces 
To that primitive ocean
Of hydrogen carbon oxygen.

But the soul was freed
In its jolly unrest
Sped through light
Twitched ones ear
Or plucked others hair
Gone was the somber
Gone the heavy air.

and everyone ate and drank heartily 
and the soul lived happily ever after
