The Humor in Death

The Humor in Death

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The mass of humans feels a ghostly pulse

Inside their minds because those brains are weak.

The thought of death makes all of them convulse

With panic.  Most of them then, flopping, seek

Escape from heft of fate.  Religions rise.

They all tell lies.  The biggest is that souls

Don’t die. . .  They live forever . . .  Then these lies . . .

Proliferate.  Religions’ thoughts are poles

Apart.  Some say that souls move on to be

In other realms, or in another brain,

A transmigration to a bumble bee

Perhaps.  Yes, doctrines then become insane.

  All faiths refuse to give a proof that Soul

    Exists, so . . . really . . . very . . . sadly . . . droll.
