I Stand Amazed in the Presesence of the Kittitian

The youthful body rested still
lifeless
Suicidal-cold inside her quiet casket
Stunned
 Grieved friends grieve
 And snapped their final photos of their friend's last sighted corpse
 Through tear-blurred lenses
This was until the angry-sounding
 Thunderous
 Lacking in understanding funeral undertaker
Bellowed over heads and ears of those who mourned the dead
"NO PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BODY!"
it boomed
"NOBODY TAKE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE BODY!"
The clicking cameras ceased
And
 Not a single Kittitian
 Asked the shouting undertaker
" Why, Sir, can't I take a final photo of my friend
 Whom I will never ever see
 in this life again?"
