my own state

If one ensures what moves and breathes
insured an aspect, temporary reprieve
suspended, captured in another epoch
thawed out from ice, frozen

Moment insured for thousands
fixations on death
money goes to the widow's estate
life in balance on knife edge plate

Fixated deaths recited for centuries
one would embalm to preserve
insurance benefit reserved
for survivors of the estate
from the widows family of late

Life companies to pay off thousands
did you prove the death was natural
suicides on account of company chases
never count self inflicted disgraces

Lives lived to fulfill
existed moments on refill
fixated on deaths to eventually pay
life speculated, a handle on receipt
receive payment on lives, deny deceit.
