Death A Requiem

 Death is hilarious to some , loathsome to others 

Why do fear it - the known world is spectacular 

The unknown is ought to be more wonderful 

Death is made fearful by the vendors of glory 

Glory of heaven- a tantalizing promise which they have no alfa and omega to give 

A promise rather difficult to delineate 

All corporal needs are sinful to them 

Denial of carnal joys is taught to be wholesome 

Only to satiate their gluttonous avarice for pecuniary broo 

Poor multitude are lured by their harangue to create a schism 

Fearing corporeal comeuppance in a gruesome hell 

They subjugate themselves to obsequious sycophancy to the deities 

The clandestine chicanery of the clergy is beyond perception

Life is something not to be wasted like some cesspool crass 

Fruitful and judicious use of life will bestow a rain of joy on us 

Like droplets of dew on grass make them sparkle 

Or like a dewy rose dancing in the early morn breeze 

Death is a portal an open sesame to a wondrous nothingness 

Not a horrible dream of untold horrors 

Death ought to be a universal phenomenon 

Until we are not touched we don’t care 

But when we are touched we do are moved

Dawn of long shadows is a miraculous gift 

Dusk of lengthy shadows is yet another sublime gift 

But shadowless noon is a blessing to most 

But gyrating eddies are common in a smooth flowing river 

The course is oft meandering over rocks and rubbles 

Yet it flows nonchalantly until it reaches its dusk

In life the moth hour of the eve is a skulduggery 

In black hole and baby universes we are infinitesimal 

Yet we strut like a turkey pompous and egoistical 

Only to end our ostentatious array and pomp under the pall

We strain to flow and reverberate the heavens 

We strain to glow and reach our havens 

The icky slush of the world will hold us lustful fast 

Hopping a rain on time will drown at last 

The woes and spells that are really evanescent 

We watch the streams and creeks flow fast

Down the dells they languidly slither with glee 

But no rains come to inundate and liberate us 

To flow and roar a thunderous course down 

To mature our course mellowed and slow 

Thus  we miss the dainty silken lofty clouds 

Eventually to flies and maggots tasty food we are 

Never we reach our estuarine calm we are subjected 

For calloused we are to the orgasmic ecstasies of life 

Nemesis reign on our parched perceptions 

Thirsting nothing and needing almost nothing at all 

Fearing none and possessing almost not a thing 

The realization dawns on us absolutely rare 

That our cherished goal is simply here the present 

Not baffled at the ford to choose a path 

We go fleeting to come back to where we are 

What we chase and what we greedily grab

Are very much here in a camouflaged grab

That we piously long the day to bask in the sun 

In death we seep into a dimensionless nothingness 

Majority make a living and live out in woo woo beliefs 

Birth is a beginning to death- we ooze slowly to the eventual culmination 

There a moment to moment living is solicited 

To replenish our life with memorable evocations

To carry to the grave as the requiem chimes 

Such a one has nothing to fear nothing to be scared of 

For the brave readily accepts the dastardly are cowed at the thought 

Instead of being the Egyptian thief  be a Scott 

George of the woods
