SILENTLY INVADE HEAVEN

Avoid extended grief
in a closeted coffin

all are now thinking
of final cremation

ultimate death be simple
ashes in to the nearest ravine
define

fish and tadpoles meat
no chair
no seat
about the bushes
don't beat

one is neither
veg nor meat
minerals water
now only

be happy
no one will weep
all in
Q
are silently lonely

I am not sure...

that 'electricfication' is the word you want, Lovedly. I think that the word you need, is [cremation]. Yes, it does save trees, but also land! Why keep a piece of land from being used by something else and spending money on a grave-site [mausoleums in particular], when after a generation or two, no one goes there? If it were not for perpetual maintaince, most grave-sites would be choked with weeds and unkempt within a couple of years. Besides, if you have someone cremated, you can keep their ashes close by, on the mantle or bedside table! Then when no one remembers who is in there or why the ashes are kept, they can empty them down the toilet and put some pretty flowers in the urn! ~ Geez.
