As you grow older
real older
you look around and many friends of
yesteryear and this year are dead
many generational icons are gone as well
if you live long enough, more of them are
on the other side, the deceased side, of life
few, like you, are left on the living side of life
for some, this generational shift from the living
to the dead
is extremely depressing
the world, the people they knew
gone forever
to where
no one really knows
despite the many who claim they
know who haven’t been dead
maybe those who’ve had
near death experiences, NDEers, know
seemingly having been dead temporarily
but many scientists disagree
and their scientific reasons have merit
and temporarily being dead isn’t
really dead, not having gone all the way
as for me, I think the NDEers have gotten a real peek
at where the dead friends and generational icons
have all gone.
