If your poor like me, Your flesh is gonna be burned And added to the pollution problem, And our smoke will rise And be added with said skies, Should I romanticise Your body's burning a bit? OK: You shall join former skies Like a mist of your essense, Your embers will burn forever Until they fall back from the waves Of winds that have carried those before You, and those that have yet To join you.
And if you have enough money Your get a proper burial And get seen by many people you Really weren't close to any more, Those who already became cadavers Long ago in your heart, They walk with other corpses That never penetrated your true self. And $5000 in a plot of dirt, Your picture on a slab of marble, A song sung awkward by some Niece or nephew, Tears for the day, And your body cannot rejoin the Earth because the coffin Isnt bio degradable.
Its just your body, But the soul is finally free From the riff raff of the flesh.
