Death (678 Style) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Death (678 Style)

Rating: 5.0


Death is recession proof
Bringing in new business deals
For Insurers and Undertakers

Priests and florists too wait
Along side the grave-diggers
To ride on death's rich gravy train

Remember the tourists
Death leaves something for them too
Monuments like the Taj Mahal

Biting irony in there. I found the ending particularly devastating.
