MANY DEAD, WHERE WILL THEY GO?

With all the killing going on, so many soldiers dead and gone, so many lined up at Heaven's Gate, some too early, some too late, all in wait for admission depending on God's permission,

There's a traffic jam of massive proportions, the worst since the Supreme Court decision on re-illegalising legal abortions, overturning Roe vs. Wade, allowing all sorts of guns and the right to kill to defend property, to outlaw suicide and reject forces trying to provide dignity for those in pain, slowly dying.

Will all this cluttering up the clouds with blood-soaked souls, young GI guys died because our ''fearless," phony, feckless leader lied. And with all Iraq lacks they just want their country back.

Young and old dream of tarnished gold, bemoan loss of stocks bought and sold. Murderers fresh off the electric chair, where they're waiting who can tell, probably at the gates to hell. Drunks who drank, drove and dared a train in vain at a RR track and, SMACK! One more fatality, now just a statistic reality.

There are dozens of ways to die. Deny the reason why, eat and drink and live too high. Shoot up your veins, blow out your brains when losses outnumber gains.

Exit Earth and leave a dearth of unpaid bills, then laugh in your grave about money saved screwing debtors, bookie bettors, those who compose threatening scarlet letters.

Jilt undercover lovers, just depressed and seeking rest six feet down with folded hands against their chest. But the best way yet is welch on a bet and get in front of a real live 45. One shot, no sweat. You've paid your debt.
