When I die,
don't lock me in the ground
Where it's dark and all the bugs crawl around

When I die,
push me out to sea
When I die,
let the sharks come round to feed
When I die,
let me be

When I die,
let the flames devour me
When I die,
scatter me in the breeze
When I die...
Set me free

Just as long as we, the organic thing typing at this moment, return our body to mommy nature. It is the decomposition that allows nature to be who she is. Too bury an embalmed body in a casket, then a vault, is just not good for the soul. And the soul , again is the organic compound sitting here typing wishing to speak about who the hell is thinking, let us call it a soul which does not to believe it will no longer be.

Just like getting cremated. That's the way I want to go, and scatter my ashes in any swamp.
There's no place like going back home to the south.

Nice one.

But, Nigel Degrasse Tyson will disagree with you. He wants him to be buried. 😉

Catwhisperer,don't worry when you die you will not know if it is dark or not as you are dead and your brain has ceased to work and is slowly decomposing,but it is a nice thought to be buried at sea and have the marine life eating your corpse or if cremated and your ashes scattered in the sea the marine life feeding on your ashes sounds better than worms in a coffin eating you.

It's more about how i don't want to have some final resting place. I don't want to be tied to a physical location I want to be free

Cool... my wife wants the mountains. I said damn baby it's up there... what if? I want my ashes at an airfield in florida.

Yeah... I don't want a marked place where someone I loved will shed tears and leave flowers. As a sailor I was, I want to return to sea. Because I don't know if a corpse will be good eating for a predator at sea. I am convince ashes are the way to go. Environment friendly you know? And by the way... nice writing. Keep it up.

I can't take full credit see comment below

@Catwhisperer Honesty will take you far with humans and cats.

What's this from? Is it an original poem of yours? I like it, regardless.

ditto. nice

It's more of a mash up and reorganization of original ideas and the song Wolves by Down Like Silver. Check it out it is a very good song
