Unsurprisingly, I'm numb. I suppose it hasn't hit me; Then again, I'm emotionally thrifty When Death swings his scythe.
So many people weep and wail, Their arms flailing As they cry and rail Against the All Powerful.
Yet, I am empty. I've been to funerals aplenty, And I'm indifferent. Death is inevitable--it happens to us all.
For me, it means a feast of fried chicken And lots of finger lickin'.
I wrote this a few weeks ago after the death of my great-aunt. Not exactly a fitting tribute to her as a person, but funerals and all the post-death everything is for the living, not the dead, so I don't think she'd mind so much. Plus, she'd probably laugh at the title. :)
