How to Kill a Dead Man

How to Kill a Dead Man

A Poem by Ashley
"

A man is not dead while his name is still spoken -TP

"

Take their name from the records
Burn their photos in the fireplace
Rip the tags from their clothes
And give them away

Drop your ring in the ocean
Smash their baby photos into dust
Delete their computer storage
And sell it

For a man is not dead
While his name is still spoken
