death is rising
in my throat
a burning acid
gagging me senseless
a friend of mine went away in the night
the old fashioned christian way
he killed his liver
he was a blues man
and we spoke much about passing
they do everything important
soft and slow
see i’m not afraid to die
i’m afraid of suffering
death is the opposite of suffering
it is a state which knows no pain
i balk at those who say suicide is selfish
no
what is selfish is to expect someone to exist in agony for the sake of others
it’s inhumane
throw a party and carry them upon your shoulders to their ends
see that angel wearing a fedora?
yeah, that’s him

At funerals, I always feel we should be singing “Happy Birthday” as a recognition of the person passing on to far greener pastures.
I heartily agree…
