Last Wishes


It was sad and sweet when I went to meet
My grandfather long dead buried in a flower bed
Where waking worms eating make my stomach squirm
And wriggly sweet, good to eat, dead man's meat
Makes a feast for creatures galore.

Irreverence is a specialty and complicity is
Compulsory meetings in groans and weepings
Of women who know better but are slow
To let go of my shirt tail they always fail
In all endeavors so I get by on favors.

At my end towards me no mind bend
A bow Ithikan lays down evil stricken
With disease are all corpses stench from afar
Let it be heard that joy and grief are blurred
By my final burning the savings used for partying.

LOL, there is a lot happening in this one.
Last wishes for me? To die with a smile... that's the only way to go. Otherwise I'm not going.
