I looked into the eyes of the
Dead man
They were open and covered in
Chalk grey cataracts
Glistening
In the moonlight
I heard the cries of his
Child
As she wept over his cold
Corpse
She looked like a sheet
Dirty
Wet
Gently swaying in the wind
Clinging there to her
Father
Crying out to the heavens
“Why him!?”
“Why take him!?”
Only the heavens did
Not
Answer
They were
Silent
Dark
Still
Nothing moved but her
Tears
And the
Insects
That gathered on the
Cataracts
Coveting their
Meal
Come see what I share

Great, powerful stuff. You site reminds me of MAS*H, combining great satire with austere moments such as these, forcing people to reflect.

Thanks again. Great compliment. Speaking of MASH, I sure wish Alan Alda were my dad. I think he’d make a great dad. So, Alan, if you’re reading this, can we go fishing together soon?

Yeah, I get what you mean…he seems like someone who’d be good at being a dad. He’s like Bill Cosby, only actually funny;)

Alan Alda occasionally appears on a show I like called “The Blacklist” with James Spader. He plays a semi-bad guy. He’s good at that too.

very solemn. I like how you can change from extreme satire to an examination of human loss. This is brilliant my good man.
