Obituaries...and then Some Epitaphs




You have heard of obituaries everyone believes in them.
Except the Greeks of yore.

They did not believe in obituaries, they looked out for only question when a person dies or even when he is alive. ”Does he have passion?”

Ask yourself this question and that’s when they say that a human understands themselves and that’s when they find out what they are and why they are and how they can know what they shall be otherwise it’ll be just another life wandered about, made some money, spent some money, had sex, had food, created kids (of course, the cycle has to continue rolling), bought a house, drove a car, went touristy to a few places and thank you very very much;  moved on to the kingdom of god or wherever hell we move on to.... Period

Epitaphs are an interesting element. Love 'em

For me what I want is
                                  She smiled and then                    
                                         he loved and then he stopped existing
                                 he lived, they lived
                                        a cheer spread around them, at all times
                                  A visible passion clothed them
                                            Still clothed, passion floats here

There could be a million variations to this.. but for now this...

The best I have seen
                                 Les Gunther from Alamogordo, NM
                            Spat at a dog
                                     two slugs from .45
                                 no Les, no More
