“I Don’t Want To Be An Obituary”

Defined succinctly,

Without soul.

Some brevity,

Levity,

No chance for parole.

Death unencumbered,

The last liberty.

Periodical announcement,

Ten lines for a fee.

Surly summation,

Posthumously.

Made for the living,

The deceased are carefree.

Despite that truism,

Ultimately,

I’d rather be living;

Than an obituary.
