Under the Influence

we speak ill of everyone,
so why not of the dead,
who rest in metal coffins
in the ground, decaying
gradually over time, as
State laws now require;
and, we can comment
negatively on what they
have done as no longer
can they say those cruel
things that were always
on their minds and had
such a desperate need to
share with some of us,
when living under their
protection and controls.
