Absurd

Absurd

A Poem by Frieda P

I overheard someone say 'death is for dead people'
that might be profound if it were not so absurd
death lives amongst the living regularly
loss, betrayal, obsessions, recessions, addictions
madness perpetuating the death prattle
people breathing in a stillness with no life
madness choking the life out of survival
people, places racing towards a grand finale
dipping one foot in the pearly skies, keep it real
death is popular when there are no tomorrows
there's dead and then there's quasi -- dead

some people are just lucky, listen to the music

wake up and smell the coffee


no one gets out alive anyway

Wow, I just got finished adding Author's notes to a poem I did some time back,
A Moment of Contemplation, then this was the first write I read after that. To say I understand what your saying would be a huge understatement. Thank you for sharing, this write spoke to me in deep places.

Sometimes a rant is just a rant, and sometimes it means so much more...

Like I said somewhere else too. Death rules all...the living AND the dead!

I love that! - and hate how you feel. You definetly need a couple of weeks at my house with lots of English Tea, sympathy and Yiddishe chicken soup. This kind of dystopian thinking does not make for happiness. Mood ambulance on it's way xxx

The thing is the quasi-dead are like zombies, they don'T really ever die. What I mean is, as long as there is breath, there is an opportunity for truly living--"viva"living....it has to do with perspective. If betrayals and disappointments with life make you bitter and jaded, yes-one might be half-dead while living, but if it makes you appreciate loyalty and warm memories of better times-it could fuel you to make changes that are life-changing.Yes, no one gets out alive -that is the impetus to live this one go-around as well as you know how to....we all will have plenty of time to get the dead thing down, just not while there is breath in our lungs. what a waste of precious time....a very thoughful write....to live life to the fullest while we can.

I love this one Frieda! For every rant there is a truth to be told. I love the way you tell it!
