CHOICES FOR 'ALL THAT COULD DIE'
(Inhumation)
All that could die
Six feet under lie,
Turning unto bone
Under a tombstone
(If not unmarked be
So plant life grows free).
(Cremation)
All that could die
Makes smoke in the sky
While I turn to ash.
It saves my folks cash
And the need to tend
A grave without end.
(Anatomization)
All that could die
To science leave I,
That men may dissect
To learning effect.
What's found under knife
Might save other's life.
