Nobody in good health and sanity invites death.

Silence does not define science in the issue of ageing and death. The absence of at least a solution sentence is in essence evidence of a serious deficiency.

In a bid to leave behind something worth more than an obituary notice on posters, some dance with death as if their present life is a photocopy only to be disappointed that it is actually the original when faced with a kiss of death.

Anybody announcing obituary with a smile is liable to suspicion. Whether he is responsible for the death or not; he is irresponsible.

Death of parents leaves minor children at the mercy of the merciless or merciful.

Wining and dining instead of crying and wailing at a funeral in sympathy with the bereaved is a mockery of condolence. If the dead are capable of anything, they will zip up the mouth of everyone in attendance except those crying and condoling.

The love affair between a bird and a fish spells imminent death. Who dies depends on the wedding venue – sea or air.

Tribute to the dead is meaningless. Corpses are 3D – dead, deaf and dumb. Only the living can appreciate their tributes. If only we tell the living the sweet things we tell their corpses, some would have lived longer or happier. If you have swallowed pleasantries to your beloved ones, start vomiting them right away to avoid food poisoning or constipation. When do you prefer your tribute, dead or alive?

Death is sure to come whether prepared for or not. Even at that, no one sees a beautiful casket and buys it like he would a beautiful trinket, no matter the discount.
