Brothers carry out the autopsy gently	A
That corpse was a rich man's residence	B
The carcass was never an ordinary body	A
To be hacked and dug upon	C
As though it were a piece of log	D
	-
Brothers be gentle and handle the corpse tenderly according to his wish	E
Give him a sense of dignity and opportunity	A
to let the whole world know that	F
no ordinary soul has been lost	G
	-
Brothers no part of his intestines	H
must be be given away to the starving VULTURES after the embalming	I
Behind the illusive past	J
of this precious corpse was a real man	K
who left hefty chunk of assets behind	L
and arrows of wealth shall	M
seize not to sprout upon them	N
	-
How he hated	O
the autopsy	A
the cruel hands of the pathologist	P
the embalming	I
the unfeeling hands of the mortician	Q
BUT he loved the hearse and	R
the comforting hands of the family members	S
AND not the VULTURES	S
who would come to devour	T
food at his funeral	U
	-
Brothers it's a pity	A
I am devoid of influence	B
To disengage this dictator's persona	V
from its dry corpse	W
I would have showed	X
him the bankrupt nature of its dead host	Y
Bankrupt both of life and in wealth	Z
How awesome it would feel	A2
To let him observe that	F
All the lifeless loser did a lifetime was to chase wind	L
I would invite him to laugh at its helpless corpse till the lungs hurt and ribs ache	B2
To laugh at how the stolen wealth are of no benefit to the desperate carcass	C2
that is now being buried in a hole dug by the poor VULTURES	S
that all his life he stole from	D2
I would then end my story	A
With the darkest	P
And possibly the saddest word I would think of	E2
About the follies of his life upon the life of the poor man that now seals his coffin and lowers it to the tiny grave	F2
