When We Die

We are memory’s preserved and not forgot We become ghosts or spirit hosts In life we hate the name, In death we feel no shame Body’s Evicted and re-homed in the ground But that’s not for me as I stated before passing I want to be cremated I added to my will as a must a request for my mortal dust It was a simple wish find a peaceful place full of fish And set me free as this is where I will finally rest.
