The dead do not die;

They live on to accuse.

They travel the folds

of the brain stopping

for a while in the

ancient brain and

then moving as on

a roller coaster to

the frontal cortex,

causing fight or flight

panic to the stark

realization, accept-

ance, agreement,

guilt for having

done the deeds

and shame for

just being. Jesus

forgives. It’s easier

for some to accept

than for others. Do

the dead then come

back saying “We for-

give, you, too,” or do

they say, “We were

just having fun at

the entertainment

park in your head”?
