FREEDOM IN DEATH – For Hope Jonah
When
we live, we live for the expectations of all around us
When
we live, we come under the rules all around us
But
when we die, we receive freedom from all
We
are no longer bound by rules and expectations
Till
a man dies, he must answer to all his boss’ whims,
She
must live up to her lover’s demands,
He
can’t take a day off.
Then
he dies, and is free from them all.
When
you live, you must be sane and reasonable,
You
must put up till the last of your fiber.
Have
you submitted your term papers?
Have
you met your work target?
You
have to because you are alive
Till
a man dies, he is unable to know what is truly important;
He
gets no help from neighbors.
He
is strong and can survive.
Then
he dies and we realize how much we could have helped him.
Why
should you visit her?
She
is alive, so don’t intrude into her privacy
Why
offer to help?
He
is alive and has a functional mind.
Then
she dies and we all come visiting, breaking the privacy
So
he has to meet all the requirements!
She
must dot all the is and cross all the
ts
Cos
that’s the penalty of living.
Till
you are dead you receive no concessions
What
a freedom there is in death.
Beautiful muse for a beautiful soul. Thanks
