A short poem about looking ahead to when you're dead, before it's too late.
Death is More Taxing
Than Politics or Religion
Can you look ahead,
To when you’re dead?
Do you see clear skies,
Yet have no eyes?
Can you hear that music,
Without your ears?
Is your passing mourned,
By your own shed tears?
Though the party just got started,
It’s time for you to go.
And if you feel heavy hearted,
It’s for the oats you never sowed.
