Question: What do people want!? Can't they see for themselves!?
So what, we cleanse the dead so we
can handle
thinking about them
like they were razors
or relics carried away
by a generic wind
an ambiguous dream
a typical rain
an unremarkable word wasted!. We
drone and images are soft secrets
that the lookers expect to see sailing
in with a firecracker crash!.
So what, we can't provide, we
never could, we
never will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They want their own lives to have meaning
and fear in death, they won't!.

So they mask this fear in superficial
tributes to others, in the hope that if
they touch the mark appropriately

when they are laid still on the marble
there'll be some fireworks for them!.

The dead die and have gone from us!.!.
Its the dead we remember gone is a must!.!.
The loved ones who have gone but just a while
Its up to us to just give a smile
To remember the times we had them here just from the start
And to treasure those memories and keep them in our heart!.
Hopefully one day we will connect with those whom we love
Our hearts and our spirits who are living we'll keep looking above!.!.

Loved it Buk!.!. it came straight from the heart!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Death to me is breaking the bonds of gravity!. And not just gravity, but the weight of anger, resentment, sorrow, fear!. What happens to the remains is of no concern to me, for I shall be flying, free at last, free at last, into the arms of the Creator from whence I came!. peaceWww@QuestionHome@Com

If there's life after death, bonus, better than winning at bingo, but if there should be "nothing" after death, are you telling me you're frightened of nothing!?
Besides, people are dying to get into the graveyard!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
