SONNET

Smile at Death

Back ache, neck stiff! OSTEOPEROSIS!
Do you remember SINILITY?
Cells multiply! Cancerous MITOSIS!
This is every human reality.
As father looks over we all will die,
Leaving the mourning friend and happy foe.
But my sweet child you should dry your eye.
Cuz without death we can’t learn, love and grow.
If a man lives forever, I am sure
He’d be evil, or sad, or he’ be lost.
For immortality there is no cure.
A soul must live with an unhappy cost.
Oh, please be glad that you’re so very sick,
But if you’re feeling still sad, I’ll suck your dick.
