Death (678 Style) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Death (678 Style)

Rating: 5.0


Death is recession proof
Bringing in new business deals
For Insurers and Undertakers

Priests and florists too wait
Along side the grave-diggers
To ride on death's rich gravy train

Remember the tourists
Death leaves something for them too
Monuments like the Taj Mahal

There is more than a touch of cynicism in this clever poem that lifts 'death' from the domain of the and romantic and puts it fair and square in the here and now. Death and taxes - inevitable we're told. Your poem shares your ideas with skill and a lyrical, gently mocking voice. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Biting irony in there. I found the ending particularly devastating.
