To entangle life into verse?

Some can't think of anything worse

Than writing down truths

And evident proofs:

Life's absurdity put in a hearse.

    Very meta-poetry and well crafted. The closing verse, “ Life's absurdity put in a hearse,” buttons up the main message with dark elegance.

    I have followed, you've definitely captured my attention! I will find time to read more of what have skillfully learned to share as is the case with so many of us here on Vocal side by side in the entanglement of capturing life into words! :-)
