Ashes to Ashes

Dearly beloved, we gather to say our goodbyes.

What do you mean you don’t know what I’m talking about? Have you heard nothing about the death of society?

You couldn’t have expected it to last long without a cornerstone.

It died years ago, but we finally got around to burying it.

I guess you could say it died the moment we started fighting mindless wars, or ignoring hungry children, or allowing genocide, just so long as it’s convienent.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
