Though the shepherd once said:

"Let the Dead bury the Dead"

Those words we all read...
(yet,  ego's are fed...)

when,   florists made a killing
by  memory filling

the graveyard with dollars ...
the green tears are shed.

Ouch...the cynicism is scrumptious here. Can't argue with the truth. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Liz...Carpe Diem

You wrote the mood of the poem very well.
Much truth here...

it was a bit on the negative side, I know, but, on, the day I wrote it, I was too.

Thank You for your comments Sir,

Will
