R.I.P.

I attended a funeral today, but no tears were shed. Some of those that were among me expressed their hurt, screaming aloud how they couldn't live day to day. Many were leaning on each other in agreement that what is now loss now disturbs their sense of comfort. Even still the preacher spoke with such an authoritarian tone. He stood on the pulpit looking into the eyes of each who were mourning, letting them know it's easier to let go then hold on. "But how could this be?" One woman yelled, "I'm not ready to move on!" Then there was another sudden outburst. "I'll never be strong enough to face this" You don't have to rely on your own strength the preacher declared. Be weak as you may for the Lord's power is made perfect in your weakness he stated. "You don't understand Mr. Preacher" she shouted. "The choice is mines, I'm not ready to deal with the unknown!" As for me I couldn't take it anymore. Here I am dressed in the purest of pastel exemplifying Life, and yet I am surrounded by many clothed in what tells their story of gloom. I made my way in front of the casket, faced the crowd & quietly spoke of truth.

Here lye's a mockery of your self-control, being, and your sense to be whole. Stood in the way of our greatest achievements, your ability to do, discover, and experience. It has sucked the life out of us suffocating one leaving no air to consume. Life has called & yet you still sit amongst the hearing impaired. Haven't you looked upon and beyond the mountain top? Your vision uncompromised, so take a look! I have no tears to shed. Close the casket quickly, & meet me at the site of burial, for it awaits. That's right you too place your flowers & say your final goodbye. The preacher then concluded with the final benediction. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. As we all said Farewell to FEAR.

I'm not sure when you've given birth to it but I encourage you today to Mother & Father it no longer. So What! Let them call the Law Enforcers. I'll stand as your witness. It was a matter of life & death. It was simply Self Defense.
