A Hefty Fee

Very sobering, real, and true.  Death is something, as a whole, that most of mankind will experience, and it sure does "cost" a lot, heh.  Not just the literal expenses from a funeral and all, but like, the "toll" on relatives and family and friends.  It seems as though we're condemned to lost damnation, over time, as we all die alone, individually.  You are here, you die, and 300 years later, no one remembers the "proper" you.  To me, this kind of "hits home", at least it should, in how I act, and in my "frontal lobe", heh.  Great reminder to live for today and tomorrow, and for me personally, some faithful assurances to hope for.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, brother. Glad you connected to the write. I agree with your analysis. It is sad that a family that's mourning also has to deal with the financial burden as well. Appreciate you.

So true Damian, George Harrison's 'Taxman' always springs to mind and is still relevant today... having done a couple myself, funerals are so bloody expensive! ♥️

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Pete. Great song, brother. That would have been some lyrics to quote in my notes. I agree with you totally, brother. Appreciate you.

DL

Oh so true sire. Preach on Damian! Great poem.

Death and taxes. . .

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tams. Honored to make your RL. They do seem to go hand in hand. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. Everything has a bottom line and a profit margin for sure. Price gouging is a huge part of that as well. Appreciate you.

I would have to agree with that statement 😉 every where you turn it's always a gimmick to just walk away from the negativity 🤨🪬 SHAMAN 🪬

Respect Brother Poet ✍️🪬 SHAMAN 🪬 for sure we have to learn to walk away from the negativity of those who, only see the glass half full yet they chose to draw you in there nonsense that does nothing for your life ✍️🪬 SHAMAN 🪬

Taxed coming on & going out. Crazy

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. Unfortunately that is the truth. Appreciate you.

DL

Yep. Money money money. And again, with the "other countries" thing. It's sad that other countries again take care of their citizens with free healthcare, etc. while here in America medical care is about cold business and as you point out here as well, death even. Sick.

Thanks so much for reading and your commentary, Michael. Appreciate you.

Nice piece here, Damian. I especially appreciate the line, 
'Madness will cut everyone down to size'. Ain't that the truth? Enough said.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Moon. It's very true, unfortunately. I liked that line as well. Appreciate you.
