Read Them Or Weep Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

friend concerned with all written
which shall be deleted upon our deaths
anything not green lined will be gone
what serious issues left not deleted remains
poemhunter not in a green online zone
when you click on edit your poems
poemhunter in green online zone no almost none
green online those with title case with few exceptions

'it's a strange strategy... once we're dead
they'll delet nongreen ones wonder what
that poetry will look like'
kinda like a cowboy hack job
the cards are on the table
read them and weep

'i shall be almost totally deleted then, its ok'
i do not confess to be Lord guarding future
'i still have much remaining to be written'

'it'll be so unnatural :) we'll look like
people who were never touched
by the problems of their time.
will be too late to hide anything
the song will be complete'

'i was naturally a person
who was ever touched
by the problems of this time'
'are you writing your obituary lol lol lol lol'
'my smile is my obituary,
i shall use my baby photo lol'
