Serving Something Worthy

To raise a debate,
Over who is better qualified
To be a pallbearer at a burial,
Will not revive the hopes...
Of the one inside a casket,
And has died.

To discuss gender issues,
And the depth of matters of trust...
Should disgust those in mourning,
That have come,
In a heartfelt collective...
To pay their reflective respects.

The ceremony prolonged...
To provide a selfishness neither right or wrong,
But sick!
Has earned the label of the lowest at its best.
As this churns the stomachs,
Of those unbelieving what they witness.
Without the aid to embellish,
Overheard sensationalized gossip!

'Pssst...?
Can you believe what we are seeing? '

~I don't care!
I just hope their serving something worthy to eat,
At the repast! ~
