When a human being is dead,
We need to find a better way
Than to bury or burn, instead
Do a quick natural decay.
Leave the body in open air
So bugs and bacteria can
Decompose well right then and there.
Efficiency should be the plan.
All death rituals, old and new,
Need to be done with common sense.
We need to do what we can do
To clean up death's waste consequence.
Dead ash and dust too often be
Mind over matter memory.
