GOOD MOURNING

A new year dawned on me, so did the birthdays of family, friends and myself.

With every year, the number of parties to attend started falling.

Sadly the Birthday Parties were replaced with Funerals.

When everyone knew your Birth Date started planning a surprise party, which you almost always knew was gonna happen.. Every year..

On the other hand Funerals are the ones ruling the department of "shock n awe(ful)".

Here you make a birthday wish

There they wish your soul rest in peace.

Here you make sure to blow the candles in one blow.

There you lit some in remembrance of the deceased.

Here people post long write ups and pictures with you on your Wall.

There only one picture with a garland of flowers is posted on The wall.

Here you are gifted colourful wrapped presents by your family and friends.

There your family and friends wrap you and bid the final farewell.

One is the truth, while another is a delusion.

We are celebrating here, and mourning there.

It should be the other way round.
