Victoria Day

being rich gives one the luxury                                                           of the future                                                                                                            as the immediate

is well financed…

 

TOO A POINT…

                                                                                              

we live forever …no afterlife                                                                                                                 improving forever,                                  

we pretend it will last forever…it’s better with age

the decades tick by and we are stunned                                                                                    by the passage of time and our impending demise

blips on a screen

oh yes lovely death  

the unborn                                                                                                                  the undead 

cannot attest to eternity      

stress levels are up                                                                                                  worrying ages                                                                                                      the heartiest of souls

ethereal realities                                                                                                     while a billion 

grind in poverty.                                                                                                            

remember 

Catherine (Kit) Corkery                                                                                             on her deathbed

“Don’t be afraid, be grateful.”
