A wrist band immutable.

But flip us the bird from their crypt

Here lies dear old Ted
Who always loved his bed
Now he gets to sleep forever
On that cloud like a feather

Gone but not fogotten

Soft upon me 
Soft as mist upon the morn 
She is gone now
As mist upon the morn
I mourn

Fantastic firms aka looters
Make polymers and are polluters
Their products break down
Spread all over town
They even serve plastic at Hooters

Doctors and morticians
do not exactly work in opposition.
The first do their best to keep you living;
the second do likewise but not breathing.

where your spirit may soar high,  
into the light beyond human bondage.

We sure weren’t sad to see him go.
He ripped off everyone he met.
Now his poor wife must pay his debt.

which was: Time's an illusion.

Hugh Hefner, also known as 'Hef'
To most females was quite tone-deaf
  He recast grown women as fawning bunnies
  Who drooled over his scantily-clad wad of money

Obituary

Seeking life among the dead
living like the dead among the living
a ghost haunting city streets
chasing the void--
the dark places/
between the stars and neons

Gail Blyke

Gail Blyke 
Died just last night
Kind, loving woman
Survived by 
Her daughter and her three grandsons
Flowers can be sent to 
1456 Primot Drive
Condolences are welcome

Many Tears Seemed To Have Shed

Many Tears Seemed To Have Shed

So many tears seemed to be shed,
After sadly found dead in his bed;
Did realize,
A surprise;
Obituary about him we had read.

After I'M Gone

Whenever I shall die
whatever will become
of poems I have sent
my soul to represent?
Will they still be welcome
here after my goodbye?

Premium Member Doom's Date - Mar 5

Doomsday’s dismal dawn, in the deep distance, 
Is our dusk, the diadem of decadence;
Daunting and depthless, a dark and doleful dirge 
Deems this dungeon of demons due for death
