Sucks To Be Dead

Does a dead man feel pain?
Maggots and grubs wiggling through
Decomposed flesh might constitute
Some suffering, right?

Does a dead man have fun?
Confined in a box for all time
Under six feet of earth
Must get pretty boring, right?

Does a dead man get horny?
Lying around with nothing
Better to do
Must make a person a little stiff, right?

Does a dead man know anything?
Existing within the splendor of Mother Nature
Instead of moving on top of her
Is a step down from living, right?

How the hell would I know?

I'm not dead. I love life and all of its pleasures.
Someday, though, I too will be there,
The stiff guy, the dead man, the rotted corpse
Right?
