Death, and my preference of an unfussed disposal

Self-explanatory

 

By Stanley Collymore

 

Frankly, studying the appalling mess, both deliberately

and thoughtlessly, that human beings individually

and collectively, have made of this earth we

live on: actions and constant detrimental

activities that have significantly and intrusively

impacted on you and me perplexingly and negatively,

I can’t in my personal situation and plainly those

encompassing the parlous state of my health

stipulations too that I’m confronted with,

think of anything more exceptionally

fitting for me than to be randomly

knocked down, immediately and

fortunately killed by a hearse,

rather suitably occupied by

a dead body, which at the

time of this matter was

on its allotted journey

to a local cemetery

 

Absolutely brilliant that would be, and similarly from my

personal perspective quite superb economically! No

encumbering fuss or costly preparations relative

to myself regarding the usual funeral, or in

specific case what preferably for me will unquestionably be a

cremation. Simply a matter, in relation to this fortuitous

accident involving me, of a rather straightforward

situation of stopping the hearse, collecting my

lifeless body, straightaway carting it off

without all the customary unctuous

and appalling rituals associated

with your average funeral, and once the previously

intended commitment, cemetery-wise, to the

already on board occupant of the hearse

and the incumbent dead body

it was carrying is permanently

over with and done, expeditiously

afterwards, and with not the

slightest fuss embarked

upon, taking my own

dead body to the

receiving oven

of the nearest

crematorium.

Author’s Comments:

Fittingly so Death is the great leveller of every human being and the only agent that unchallenged and irreversibly so can make the same of the privileged scions amongst us and during their life time the same with the detested Plebeians.  And that’s what I find so remarkably amenable thoroughly impressive about it. So long live Death! And do carry on with your exciting and punishing work.
