It’s matter of fact that earth is going green, <br />From major corporations to the fluorescent household light bulb, <br />To the way of life that is to be seen, <br />After death going green is already in progress for funeral parlors in the UK, <br />And that is a hit, <br />- it’s the rage, <br /> <br />Cardboard coffins, clothes sewn from natural fibers, a burial plot in a natural setting. <br />Green funerals attempt to be eco-friendly at every stage. <br /> <br />It makes a terrific do-it-yourself project, <br />To have one built from designer cardboard, <br />-sewn paper bags I would reject, <br />On ones pocket book that should be breather, <br /> <br />'The trouble is, they are a bit ungainly to use, ' said Oakfield Wood burial ground director Oliver Peacock. 'They're not terribly easy to handle and if it's wet, they don't look their best either.' <br /> <br />Better than being forced to give up one’s life, <br />To be made into some kind of multi-biochemical compound, <br />To make the survivors at ease with their strife, <br />Your last moments so serene, <br />To Go Soylent Green. <br /> <br />(4-20-08)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/go-green-soylent-green/
