although death had not scheduled an appointment it arrived none the less complains about premature and unexpected were notoriously ignored most folks know death rarely sends out notices requesting répondez s’il vous plaît since most would never reply anyway
according to man’s
divinely inspired canons
an
omniscient god
ordained
man
as
the caregiver
of
the planet
responsible
for
managing
the diverse
treasures
of
this world
uh
really
what color is death
its robe is black but its face
is a chalky white
and as death approaches you
you’re told to walk towards the light
it seems one should avoid white
such heroic stories of your life each one a creative masterpiece filled with the trials and tribulations that you single-handedly overcame there can be no doubt that you’re in line for sainthood or martyrdom whichever comes first though given what you’ve already said you’re a self-made deity
now be advised that it takes a lot of time to do nothing well nothing but obstruct others from doing what’s right lord knows being so divisive creating national hostility between lifelong friends and neighbors is going to be quite time consuming that’s why i’ll never have time to do my job oh i know there are a few folks out there hoping that my all-consuming fund raising and hell-raising behaviors should be stopped and i should turn my attention to national and international issues that directly affect the lives of my constituents and i would seriously consider those alternative positive actions but i just won’t have time
now
i’m not one
to
gossip
and
spread
unfounded rumors
but
just yesterday
while
waiting
for
church to start
i happened
to
overhear
that
one of our
local politicians
had
suffered an
untimely
death
seems
he visited
the wilderness area
he was
so opposed to
and
suffered a
debilitating
injury
honey
that just means
he couldn’t walk
anyway
he called 911
and
they sent out
a couple of paramedics
his exwife
was one of them
well
when they got there
they started in with their
professional questions
name and such
and when
they got to his age
he said
sixty-five
honey
he’s 80
if
he’s a day
well
his dear exwife
said
since this is
federal land
and
protected by
the antiquities act
all
they could do
was to take
his photo
so they did
and
left him there
lord
didn’t it
get cold last night
welcome
have a seat
at
the rear
of
the bus
we’ve
designed it
so
it looks
just
like
the front
only
looking to
where
we’ve been
it even comes
with
its own
humanoid driver
fashioned
to look
like
lincoln
for we know
how much
your
people
admire him
even though
his motives
for
your emmancipation
were
less
egalitarian
than
you’ve
fantasized
however
that has
served us well
you
continue
to
blindly vote
for
our candidates
out of
allegiance to the past
and
we’d like for you
to
continue
so we
place
center stage
one or two
of
yours
on
every
campaign camera angle
remember
even if we limit
your voting rights
we
want you to stay
right
though
they
walk the halls
of
congress
as
representatives
of
the people
we typically
find them
enaging
agreeing
or
offering to engage
in
dubious
conduct
and
behavior
in
return
for
a fee
if they walked
the streets
they’d be
called
something else
