We are buried before we rot
Stuffed into boxes or the raw earth
While the wealthy place their dead flesh
In mausoleums erected in anticipation
But we are not the ancient Egyptians
And the rich are not Pharaohs
They are given a clean, cold place
To store their body
To keep it pristine
But they are no less or more
Than those laying without a coffin
Nor are they any less guilty
They simply have the wealth
To die in style
"Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream." Khalil Gibran
