Short Cremations Poems

Some people say 
Cremations 
Out of their religion 

Some people say 
Cremations 
In their religion

All I have to say 
Every religion to respect other religions...

Dear someone, 
there are no funerals
for the flesh
no hospitals 
for the mind
no curtains and no cremations
for all out pretty words 
paradigm, 
you can't save every patient
sweet,
a corpse would warm your bed...

I wonder how law
Comes in to play
We plead insanity
Lesser charges on the way

We are all insane
Each having our own little quirks
So, that brings me to wonder
If the Statute of Limitation works

I'm limited in thought sometimes
Vision has limited view
Limited in strength day after day
Patience has limits too

Is there a law that
That can prevent these Limitations
No. That's why we have so many
Burials and cremations....

I'm often called upon to write a verse
for someone's birthday or a funeral,
four or eight lines,
rhyme scheme of ABAB or ABBA.

But here are no rhyming line ends -
those small, same-sound four-footer ones
or those that have five feet or even more,
oh more, more beats than that, yes more than that, oh more than that.
Yes, no rhymes, except at times
within lines, yes, as you can guess.
Great fun, even for burials or cremations.

to cremations

I once bled black sin
it poured from mine heart and kin
once cooled it curdled into crimson
heavy thick n haired like a bison
open and free to parch the land
to match the beat of the oncoming band
never in the crowded ground 
whilst markers lost point to me found
chop down a tree and place me on it
burn my sins and flesh til they split
offer me up to the king of all
so that I may never again fall
but rise ever more onto him as a
burnt offering....
