With Dignity

May there be a moratorium
  on every kind of crematorium
May all flesh be returned to Mother Earth
  and our spirit speed its way to Heaven

      ~ with dignity, in memoriam

I think death is handled with more dignity in older cultures, the cost alone for a funeral here can be outrageous-

Everything reduced to crass commercialism in our 'material world.' … and so it goes... ~ gw

I do believe our spirit does speed its way to heaven, and I, for one, am ready to free myself from this heavy earth flesh, and especially these hurting teeth.
