DEATH OR LIFE, WHICH WILL IT BE FOR GEO?


The Fear of Death has come to me about my dear wife Geo.. by E.G.Macfarlane.

She is sleeping in a coma where I find I cannot go.
I wakened up this morning shortly after 2 am.
And straightway ambled off to see her to see if she would speak to me again,
She was just the same as yesterday -- no sign of recognition.
But warm-blooded in light-breathing vein with eyes covered in sightless mood.
Of course I could not speak with her although her hearing's good,
She is the land of limbo Where I find I cannot go.
And I wonder if we are at the beginning of the final dying show.
I have never seen a person die in over ninety years of cosmic life.
And there may something fitting if the first one was my much-loved wife.
But I am in the dark here : none of the nurses know.
Whether Geo is on her death bed or if this is not so.
You must wait and see what happens is what they say to me.
So I relapse into silence and wait for the revelation of time's dread decree.
Geo has been a grand friend for me -- after sharing 68 years of life.
I have only had one mistress and that one was COSMIC GEO my only wife.
Nobody seems to know the outcome --- whether Geo will live or die,
But my present hope for life continues no matter how hard I try.
Life is a gorgeous experience which should be loved by all our kin.
The multy-billions of persons on this planet we are all esconsed in.
We must REJECT the warring nations of the international mess,,
Give us all a single global parliament to obey in a death or living guess!
So rule out the Concorde, the Nelson , the HOOD,
I fancy ONE NATION for world reform would be good.
