Quickly Forgotten

So I died

Believed while dying that the whole world will stop for me

Just because I died

I believed it very strongly

Even if the whole world does not stop for a second

My loved ones will be frozen for a life time

Unable to move on because I died.

It is important for me to see that the whole world stopped

I wanted to be assured they really stopped

So I appointed a medium

I told him in clear terms to tell me what happens                                         

Immediately the news of my death is broken,

Three hours after

A day after and

A week after and

A month after and

A year after and...

He looked at me bewildered, wondering if I was mad

He had never had this kind of request in all his years

He looked at me, shook his head and told me

Dear son I have been in this business for years

No one ever asked me for such

Neither the rich nor the poor

The well known or the hardly known

Not one either he that found true love or never found love

No one was bold enough to make such a request.

It’s the way of the world

To move on very quickly

Sad moments are soon forgotten

Dead people become distant memories

Tragic events are left in the laps of those concerned

The people will only mourn with you in the now

Soon you are forgotten

No

I am loved and cherished

I have helped a lot of people in my life time

People have told me over and over they would not survive without me

I want to know what happens

I want to know how quickly I am forgotten

Because I know the world moves on too quickly

Memories only linger for a time

Right before the sunsets another news has taken over

Bad news is great news,

The worse it is, the faster it spreads

So I told him

Do me a favour do not turn down my request

Let me know how quickly I am forgotten
