What if death should suddenly up and die?
Would humanity weep a mournful cry?
Or, would rejoicing engulf the world
Where new rules of living would surely unfurl?
Blissful nirvana – a new reality?
Yes, life would prevail with no finality
Such a precious fortune of fate
When your mentality allows you to elevate
If death should suddenly up and die
No need to pray to some heaven in the sky
No need for religion teaching the Holy lie
Death’s demise assures everlasting health
And health wouldn’t depend on monetary wealth
If death should die, positive living would be the norm
Enabling us to weather any storm
No need for clueless doctors predicting one’s death
No need for hospitals or nursing homes stealing one’s wealth
No need for insurance companies arguing the cost
Of a loved one you just up and lost
No need for scheming lawyers’ exorbitant fees
For litigation will fade into permanent deep freeze
No need for relatives fighting over the bequest of your will
Because humanity will be totally fulfilled
No further need for funeral expense
Nor all the moaning and crying
For we truly will know
That only death is dying
Abundant need for love and harmony
When death’s demise sets us free
Cross my heart never to die
Touch my heart with a joyful sigh
We all exist on this living stage
Left alone to gracefully age
Forever young, forever old
With wisdom acquired too oft untold
Indeed when death has up and died
True utopia will be glorified
Death is dead, the wreath is laid
We face the future unafraid
Joshua C. Whiting
