Poem -
befitting the occasion. A write.
Don't know what there is
To talk about now
He would hate itÂ
Still, we're all in black
with pints except
the barmaid who scrolls
her phone as if
she might find a glum face
befitting the occasion. She fails.
They start to get pissed say nice
Things about him. Course they
do. He's dead.
He would hate it.
once when we were both
teenagers returning
from the buriel of an utter
bastard  he said sis
don't let them shit
on my grave. More importantly
don't let them bullshit
On it.
As if he'd known even then
that his very own kids
would refuse to attend

Isn't life full of different types of shit? Really sad to end up like that, not having your own children attend your funeral, there are so many, many reasons why people choose not to. A harsh and very well written poem. Life isn't a box of chocolates and that's why I so enjoy your work, it's so relatable always. 🌹 Big hugs my dear Marion. 🌹
Really ... I'm just a miserable bitch lol
thanks so much love x
 Crikey our M this is a real hard hitting motherfucker of a post my friend .. I am near too embarrassed to admit just how much I think folk need to be reminded that poetry is not just about the nice things in life .. and am glad I’m not the only one who recognises this fundamental but important fact .. Much love & respect sister … Neville 💛🌻👍xx
