Two More Epitaphs

1. Unverschuldet

Hier liegt, wer nicht hier liegen sollte
Weil er unsterblich werden wollte
Doch wahrliche Unsterblichkeit
Ist leider eine Seltenheit.
Selbst unter Lottomillionären
Sind wenige, die ewig währen.
Wahre Unsterblichkeit ist erblich;
Was sonst sich findet, ist verderblich.


2. Pointing to Where Truth Lied

Bore flippant screeds. Since they were thick
They seemed sound. But there is thick and unsound.
Innocence looks like dumbness, so rape stood to reason
Especially as there was evidence of overweight.
For their absurdity these creeds were fine.
They were the meager prerequisites
For one more unconfutable life.
